We are delighted to announce that Flor de Maria Avellan from Nicaragua will be visiting the UK from 14-21 September. In addition to attending TUC Congress in Brighton, where she hopes to meet a wide range of trade unions, Flor de Maria will be speaking at a public meeting on Nicaragua, ALBA and regional integration to be held in London on Wednesday 16 September. A street seller from Managua, Flor de Maria is also Co-ordinator of the Women's Committee of the Self-Employed Workers Union, CTCP. She has a fascinating and inspiring story to tell.
