Five companions from Community of Hope, Tulsa attend Annual Partnership Trip in Chacraseca, Nicaragua
Our Nicaragua Mission Team just returned from their annual week working with our partners in Chacraseca, Nicaragua. The members of the team were Donnie Eberly, Maranda Eberly, David Hoot, Gina Woods, and Barb Hayes Here's a quick report of their trip. It is important to remember that most of the material costs for building the new home for a family were paid from Neighbors in Need funds from the UCC.
 NICARAGUA TRIP REPORT
Five companions from Community of Hope traveled to our partner community of Chacraseca, Nicaragua from July 24 to August 1. It has been an annual tradition for the last 12 years. We go to visit old friends and make new friends, too. Our primary project each trip is to assist with building a new home for a family. We worked side by side with the family members during the week.
Three of our team members went to the schools for two days and read books to the children. One team member spent the day at the community's health clinic assisting the nurse with various duties. These activities were all very educational to the team members.
We also had the opportunity to visit some of the families that we have worked with in years past. It is always fun to 'catch up' with them to see how they are doing and to learn what changes have occurred since our last trip.
One afternoon the group toured the local block making factory and the new community library. These are both modest facilities but wonderful additions to the community.
Our last day in Chacraseca saw us celebrating with the family at a house warming fiesta for them and their neighbors. About 80 people attended. We furnished food, drinks, door prizes, and two pinatas (one for the girls and one for the boys). Lots of fun for everyone.
We were also able to include a trip to Managua's fair. The main attraction for us is the numerous local artists who come to sell their work. We buy many arts and crafts from them (fair trade) and bring them back to Tulsa to resell.
It was a terrific trip. Please consider joining the team next year. All are welcome.
