Education is very important.

Here in Nicaragua there are many children that cannot go to school. The reason they cannot go to school is because it is the law here that you have to wear a uniform to school. A lot of poor families cannot afford the uniform so their kids cannot go to school.  Some kids who do go to school are lucky to even get one meal a day and that is usually just a little bit of rice. If anybody would like to donate money for kids to buy uniforms so they can go to school let us know because it is really sad that some kids cannot go to school because they have to wear a uniform. Uniforms cost 40 dollars which includes a shirt, undershirt, skirt/pants, socks and shoes.  Next Thursday or Friday, we are going to purchase uniforms for children with our friend Flavia who is a profesora at a high school in Masaya.

  1. Hi~ When do you have to know by how many uniforms to purchase if we talked to some folks here? How do we pay for them? Just mail you a check to El Portal? Hugs and miss you! Aunt Siri and gang

  2. Maybe he is hanging out with Waldo? Are you are sure you are spelling his name right? There is that game "where in the world is Carmen, San Diego?" Perhaps you could enlist the support of that. Dave suggested that he moved to Sudan to join the rebels...
