You helped us prepare 310 elementary scholarships this year! 

Thank you!

 

Also, for the second year, the Nicaraguan government is providing a meal at school for every elementary student. Learning is much more effective when one's tummy is full...

Ricardo (below in the grey shirt) graduated high school last year at the top of his class and was just accepted to UNAN (Nicaragua's highly competitive public university, in which tuition is free)! The community is very excited for this brilliant young man! AND Juan Pablo's son, Irvin, was accepted to UNI (Nicaragua's public Engineering university), and will pursue his engineering degree!

The communities of Chacraesca and La Flor are still hoping for several more high school scholarships

  • An organization that has provided 67 scholarships for the last several years has not renewed their commitment for 2013, so far
  • There are no school busses; part of each scholarship helps defray the $1 per day cost of public transportation. In La Flor, a 16 year old boy was struck by a vehicle while walking the dangerous road between his home and school. We are still praying for his full recovery. 

Teachers, parents, and students are all concerned about the safety and education of the young people in their communities. Please help our partners to succeed in their efforts to educate their young people. School starts February 11.
