Update from nicaragua

Here’s the latest information from our partner, Samaritans international of nicaragua

In Nicaragua, we are still being really careful with the Covid-19 situation; the government began vaccinating the elderly in March. At our school, we are working with a modified distance learning plan due to a rise of Covid-type sickness in Pochocuape, with pre-school and elementary children coming three days per week and high schoolers coming twice a week. We continue wearing masks, social distancing, and extra hand-washing. We are doing everything we can to protect our families while obeying the government order that we have in-person school.

Hundreds of families are still struggling to recover from last November’s back to back hurricanes. With entire crops wiped out and dozens of homes destroyed, the daily struggle for food continues. But the Lord has been faithful to provide for those most affected, the children. Each month, people are reminded of God’s love and compassion as over 130,000 vitamin-enriched meals are served to children living in the lower river region. The love of Jesus shrines through every child’s smiling face, knowing that they will not go to bed hungry.

Finally, we continue with our agriculture project. Our chickens should start laying eggs in the next two weeks, and the rainy season is just starting so it is time to plant. We planted banana and plantain trees.

Thank you for your prayers!
