Nicaragua! Off on another adventure… this time very much the
same, but different in so many ways. For those of you who don’t know, I will be
working for VISEDAL, “VISEDAL Partnership empowers underprivileged children in
Managua, Nicaragua to become leaders in their families and communities. Through
our child sponsorship program, VISEDAL children receive clothing, scholarships,
food stipends, and guidance from our program coordinator.” That’s me! I will be
working with the children in the community as the PC (along with Esmir) in a
position similar to a YoungLife leader, mentor and social worker. I couldn’t be
more thrilled, but at the same time nervous. Nervous of the unknown. Here I am
writing this in the airport and I still do not know where I will be living. This
time I will not be staying with other volunteers, I will be by myself. I am
anxious about meeting the kids and hoping to connect with them. I am worried
about feeling lonely. There are so many thoughts running through my head but I
know relying on God is my only relief. So please pray! I will need it as I go
through the first few weeks and then on.
The website is www.VISEDAL.org
and don’t forget to add them on facebook to see updates weekly!
As soon as I settle in and have a chance to update I will!
Thank you all for your prayers and support.
