It will mean that the 250 kids in this school have potable water to drink. Members from another partner, Partridge Community Church of Partridge, KS, also joined in this effort as a part of their annual PartnerTrip.

break deepening their partnerships in Santa Emilia and La Flor. One of the participants had this to say of the experience, "One thing I learned a lot about over the Nicaragua trip was strength. As we heard the stories of the women in the microcredit project, I was struck by how difficult it was just to make a living. These women were fully aware of the struggles they faced, yet they all told their stories with smiles on their faces, joking with us, and overall expressing great joy in their lives. Even beyond the microcredit projects, I saw joy and compassion in almost everyone we talked to, which surprised me. I learned that it might take work to make a living, but it takes real strength to stay positive when the circumstances are working against you.
