Sounds worth checking this (though we don't currently have a central
record of what the physical sizes were previous years). Before that,
perhaps someone has a general idea of how Nicaraguan sizes are compared
to e.g. generous USA ones or small Asian ones?

If you don't have women's sizes, then, yes, I suppose taking one size
below the requested size might be a reasonable guess -- any women want
to comment on that?

If the shirts are 5 USD each, then I expect some international
staff/volunteers would be happy to pay for an extra couple of shirts to
wear while working. Any ideas on what would be a good number of staff
shirts to order?
