Helping Children in Nicaragua. The Story: in Jan 2006 I went to Nicaragua and met Pastor Carlos who was helping 18 kids who used to scavange at the city dump of Somoto in an area called Cascabel. He told me he had been reaching out to them for 3 years and was able to get the town to build a house for an elderly lady who was housing many of these kids. When I arrived at the "House" I was taken back when I saw it had no water, no electricity, no bathroom and no doors or windows. The kids were still sleeping on the concete floor in the bags that once carried rice and beans. I had a bunch of toys with me and my puppet Lulu and we had fun. A few days later our Mission's Fund was able to buy the kids matresses and wood for bunk beds. The day before I left Nicaragua. I was able to buy some bird whistles at a market. I sold them at a faire and sent the money to Pastor Carlos for the kids. He was so thrilled that he went to the market and found more bird whistles. The merchants were puzzled why a Nicaraguan man would want so many. When he explained that he was going to send them to me to help the kids, the merchants were touched and gave him the whistles. We have been selling bird whistles ever since to help the Kids of Cascabel. Pastor Carlos, This is his facinating story Click picture to enlarge
