On my way again to Nicaragua with 9 others, 5 men, 4 women. I can hardly wait to get on the plane January 17th. I am very excited. This will be my third time serving in Leon, Nicaragua.
I did a bit of planning today. Everyone on the team felt I was the one who should be in charge of children's ministries for our team. I am glad to do it.
I am trying to keep things simple, the cost minimual, and allow the kids to be who they are...kids! We do alot of playing while we are in Leon. Bubble blowing, jump roping, playing with a parachute, frisbees, kites, and baseball. We also have crafts, games and puppet shows. The kids love the idea that adults have come to play just with them.
This trip is All About Kids. Our team will be helping with construction of a building that will be one of two dorms for older elementary school children at the Child Protection Center, El Ayudante. In 2005, the center took in 13 children, all of whom needed housing and care from loving adults.
We will most likely visit the dr. who has a clinic in the Ruben Dario bario, which is a few streets from the Children's Center. Last trip we made to Leon, our team helped with construction of a new portion of the dr.'s medical clinic. It will be wonderful to see the addition completed.
As time nears I will more of an exact knowlege of what we will be doing as far as construction and ministry projects. Hopefully once in Leon, I will be able to update the blog with info.
God Bless!
