Dia de la Patria! Viva Nicaragua!!!

Last Friday we celebrated Dia de la Patria here at NCA/Nicaragua Christian Academy. I learned a lot about the history and culture of Nicaragua as the children presented their projects at various booths.




Then they performed many of the local folklore dances in full costume. Even the teachers dressed up and danced a traditional number!! We ended the fiesta with a lunch of typical Nican food: gallo pinto, nactamales, pino lillo and more yummy dishes.

I am blessed to be on the team here at NCA sharing their vision for these students:
Nicaragua is in desperate need of moral leadership. For 100’s of years, Nicaragua’s leaders have made decisions out of a desire for personal gain and have lacked moral integrity, commitment to social justice and compassion towards their people, resulting in widespread poverty and corruption. 55% of NCA’s students are Nicaraguan and will be future leaders in their country. Our vision is to give them hope and a resolution to make a difference in their country. Until leaders are committed to servant leadership based on God’s Word, the economic situation of the poor in Nicaragua will not improve.
