Nicaragua: 497 children in Sauce

Current Managua Time
Another 6 a.m. start for a distribution in Sauce (pronounced Sow-say), and 497 children.

The route was through farmland with volcanic mountains in the distance. We drove through several deep potholes filled with water and had to park just short of the distribution site at the local church due to deep mud.

The volunteers did an excellent job helping line up the children, haul the bedkits, and clear the long grass with machetes. Some bedkits went home on horseback and others were on top of a loaded school bus.

Following the distribution we had a meal of chicken and vegetable soup made by the ladies in the village.
