Peace Corps experience inspires Brooklyn resident’s novel
Part of proceeds to go to Guatemalan school
When the Brooklyn Daily Eagle last wrote about Ditmas Park resident Alexander Nixon in 2010, he was in the Peace Corps, helping to organize a cooperative of coffee growers in Guatemala near the Mexican border and using his knowledge of media to attract buyers for their coffee.
Now, he’s back in Brooklyn, but he’s still committed to the farming community in Guatemala that he left, and he’s finding a novel way to raise money for them.
