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.The kids were staying at a construction site with 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 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. This opened up a highway of blessing to support the Kids of Cascabel.
Pastor Carlos is the hero in this facinating story, read it here.

Garbage Dump in Cascabel Nicaragua |
Where many kids were scaveging for metal and plastic |
They took me to their old stomping grounds |

|
 |
 |
and I could see they were glad to be out of the dump.
|
I first met them in 2006 and was gripped by their love |
.The kids had been sleeping on the floor in sacks |
 |
 |
 |
so we bought them beds |
Tthe children now go to school and receive 3 meals a day from Pastor Carlos' team of volunteers. |
