Day 3, 4, 5, & 6 -
Day 3 was definitely a highlight of this trip. At the elementary, we continued our tutoring in reading, English, and calligraphy. At the high school we began our science experiments and sex-ed seminars.
The students were captivated by the rocket labs and enjoyed seeing the impact of chemistry and physics in a real world setting.
The sex-ed talks varied with each group. The primary focus of the seminars was to impart the importance of safe-sex and furthermore discuss the respect with which each person deserves to treat his/ her own partner. We wanted to make sure that each student was aware that any temporary decision could result in permanent consequences and that sex was a gift from God, intended for one man and one woman after marriage.
Day 4 paralleled a lot of the work completed on Day 3. This time, however, our work was directed at a younger age group. This continued throughout the rest of the week.
Small highlights included our occasional visits to the ice cream shop (Pops) and the one time we were able to treat four young boys on the street to an ice cream cone.
Friday, we celebrated Sofia F's birthday and were happy to eat cake and, of course, more ice cream.
Our final day was spent packing and visiting the children at Pan y Amor one final time.
Tears and laughter were exchanged. We were pleased to see the impact we'd made once again in Nicaragua.
Thank you to every contributor and donor who has made this year possible and for those who have helped fundraise for Pan y Amor. Your help has changed the lives of each child at Pan y Amor beyond measure.
Blessings,
