Day 8 was no exception in this regard. Judy and Maria and Rodriguo were busy making the adjustments necessary to maintain our on-site effectiveness.

Our schedule this day involved making our way to Colegio Cristiano de Padul (private school) for a distribution of 250 bedkits arranged by Maria of Managua (Rotary) with the school principal, Rosemary. The staff and children were delightful.

We were even entertained by a brother and sister dance duo, as well as an older female foursome.
The school and its teachers are doing an excellent job; as witnessed by the attitude of the kids: they were cheerful, playful, gregarious and most of all, very appreciative.

One of the highlights was meeting a pair of teachers who had come from New Hampshire. Sponsored by their church they had been teaching in the school for several years.
Fluently bilingual it was wonderful to meet such dedicated people who obviously got great satisfaction out of helping the children too!
