Nicaragua! Continued.

Like I said before, this past summer, I went to Nicaragua! It was so amazing. I went volcano climbing 3 times, went to a handicapped orphanage, camped out in the mountains of the rain forest, and worked in a village called Villa Catalina (doing things like building and playing with children). I went down there with my uncle's non profit organization called "Amigos For Christ".

His organization started just after Hurricane Mitch struck Nicaragua, leaving hundreds, if not thousands, of families homeless, jobless, and many dead. My uncle just felt a calling to go down there and bring as many people as possible, back to a home, with food and a place to sleep at night.

After my uncle and a team of workers began building, the first village -of three- began forming. This was Villa Santa Matilda. Two more came after, (name unknown) and Villa Santa Catalina.

He has put more than 300 families back into a home, with a job, and food on their plates. Tons of people fly in every year to help build (mostly people from the US) . If you would like to learn more, this is my uncle's website: http://www.amigosforchrist.org/
