The nonprofit health and humanitarian aid group PCI (pciglobal.org) used its recent "Hands Across Borders" gala to highlight its work throughout the Americas. Giveaways included coffee grown by PCI's farms in Nicaragua and pictorial books and calendars with photographs of the organization's work. Décor was natural -- burlap overlays and cactus centerpieces -- and the menu focused on foods indigenous to Nicaragua, including goat soup and buffalo meat. A silent auction also featured a marketplace of items from the countries served by PCI.
