In October our project suffured a major loss. Our beloved director Dulce Maria, Co - founder of the Maria Nazareth girls shelter 22 years a go died of COVID.
We are very sad. The girls were very emotional about the big loss, many of them knew Dulce for a long time.
We traveled to Nicaragua to see how we could help in finding new ways of organising the girls project to ensure further existence.
We were lucky, Gema, Dulce Maria's younger sister will continue her work. She is very capable and enthusiastic and will continue together with co-founder Violitta with lots of energy and some new ideas.
The new school year is starting in January and we support the poorest families with books, paper, pencils, backpacks and school uniforms.
Before we left we organised an exiting day excursion : we drove to Dipilto, a village in a nearby coffee growing area with pleasant cool climate and beautiful nature, we had a walk, lots of laughter and a picnic, enjoying a happy day with the children!
