EL PASADO

The project began in January 2003

The families were living in the Managua Dump, the


group went in and began to help

Families were able to move out of the dump and


promised land if they lived and worked together for 5
years

EL PRESENTE

8 families are in the project currently

They have fulfilled their commitment and continue to


work together.

There is now a school that continues to be expanded


as more groups visit

EL FUTURO

In the future the goal is to create a church and a


school for all grades.

The hope is to be able to continue to send students to


technical training.

HOME LIFE

Homes in Nicaragua may


appear very different from
what we are used to in the
United States. With the
climate being different
homes must adapt for the
climate.

SCHOOL/ESCUEL
A
School may look a little
different from what we are
used to.

NATURE/NATURA
LEZA
Nature is any important
part of the culture because
using the land has been a
way for many people to
survive.

The Mombacho Volcano


and the rainforest
