Distribution 7
Masaya, our seventh distribution, was situated 45 minutes south of Managua in an area of volcanoes. As we drove to it we passed two beautiful crater lakes, viewed one "puffing" volcano and several other quiet ones as well.Our distribution site was at a large private school with a huge enclosed open area that unfortunately had little to offer as an attractive background for our photos. 623 children were brought in from thirty rural schools. After having their pictures taken and happily receiving their bedkits they were given a snack before boarding their buses for home.
We too packed up and boarded our van wending our way back to Managua. The route took us through Nicaragua's oldest city: Granada.
We took a short break and walked through the lovely old section of town. Imagine our surprise at hearing "Joy To The World" being rehearsed in the market area as we left. It was the perfect ending to a great day.
