Nicaragua: Outside Managua

Our team today travelled outside the capital of Managua to do distributions in three different rural locations. It was enjoyable to leave the city for a change and enjoy the openness and fresh country air. The weather co-operated: bright sunshine throughtout most of the day was followed by rainfall which started as our final bedkits for the day were being given out.

Following one distribution, our team spoke with a Sister, and her teachers, who operate a school which, as an additional community service, houses, feeds, and educates forrty orphans. One of the team's pictures today shows the Sister and several of these young ladies.

Interviews with parents again confirmed how important the mosquito net, mattress, clothing, and other items would be to the children receiving bedkits. Our team saw children leaving the distribution site on horse-drawn carts, bicycles, and other simple modes of transportation.

The trip has gone quickly. It's hard to believe that tomorrow will be our last distribution day.
