9/21 Nicaragua update

This morning Pablo and I visited the village, ´´tres M´´, where we will be teaching 43 kids English as a second language. Many kids were lined up eager to hear about the class that Pablo and I will be teaching together. We also got the chance to meet with village leader who informed us of a great need to run water to 53 families in this community. The town itself is built on a hill and most the homes atop the hill are without running water. Most of the pipes are set up near the houses, but they are without a water tank that could distribute enough water throughout the homes. The cost of the tank is estimated to be between $4000-$5000. Pablo and I are meeting with the engineer who came up with these figures on Monday. Our hopes are that if we are able to raise half the funds that the government will meet us half way and supply the rest. Prayers are needed in this area, as many of those living in this community have never experienced the luxury of running water. It was humbling for me to stand in this village, drenched with sweat because of the heat, and see so many that are living without something that I´ve expected and not even been grateful for for most of my life. Anyone interested in helping financially with this project is welcome to email me with questions or concerns, as we seek God´s wisdom for the best way to help. I ask that you also pray for the children that we will be teaching over the next several months. I will be posting pictures from this community in the near future.
