HOW DID WE DECIDE ON EL CRUCERO FOR OUR FIELD TRIP???
God did..........
The Miskito Coast, also known as the Atlantic Coast of Nicaragua came up in a social studies class last October,
which led us to talk about the Miskito people, culture and community,
which led us to talk about the orphanage in El Crucero who cares for neglected, abused and abondoned children from Waspam, the Atlantic Coast.
The 3rd graders asked if we could go and visit them one day, one day, sure, one day...... but we got busy with stuff, school, life, Thanksgiving, Christmas, vacations, life......
BUT, the 3rd grade never let up, their hearts had been touched by the stories of some of the children who lived in El Crucero. They did not forget. They kept asking, we realised they were serious, their teacher, Ms. Gina finally made it happen.
One of the parents who came with us made this wonderful DVD for us all to share...
