Cathy Night's new school

Cathy and George Night saw a need for the children in this little remote area and built a much needed school with donations and a lot of prayer. We donated a sink because the rule for a school is that there must be a place where the children can brush their teeth! We went with George to take it to the school.

Ralph, just thought you should know that Yasmine and Steve Ludwig have been supplying soy milk and typical breakfast pastries to the 17 children and their wonderful teacher, Olga, for the past 6 months....The future of Nicaragua rests with the children and we wanted to asuure they would have something in their stomachs to make learning easier.
