It indeed has been "quite a year" for you, but what shines through so clearly in this post, is that the Lord has enabled you to come to the end of the school year and clearly see so many examples of His faithfulness to you. He has worked in others and in you to draw you closer and closer to Him! May you continue to walk closely to Him, trust Him, and allow Him to amaze you daily with His love and provision...I love you!Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00533859514566541965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7843676592186677757.post-59805065840399512402013-12-04T04:54:56.362-07:002013-12-04T04:54:56.362-07:00¡Felicidades Directora Carey y equipo por el traba...¡Felicidades Directora Carey y equipo por el trabajo cumplido… NCA Matagalpa es nada menos que una respuesta a nuestras oraciones… esperamos que la luz de esta escuelita siga iluminando a su comunidad y país a través de su personal y alumnos!Greg Kynasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11767831181965112283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7843676592186677757.post-49682027178923980812013-03-29T06:21:18.010-06:002013-03-29T06:21:18.010-06:00Great blog Carey!

We were the group privileged to meet you right after your position as director was announced. I am the recent retiree of forty years teaching in PA middle school art, who also enjoyed planting the school's front garden with my compadres. I am much impressed with your story of Lupita loquita, as you obviously wrestled with how to minister to her effectively, and with love. You indeed followed Christ's example, and did all in your power to give her aid, and ached for the respect she apparently doesn't receive from her own countrymen. We<br />are all guilty of this, and it humbled me. I had just read minutes before about the death last week of little Jimy, a ten-month-old child in the renutrition center. He touched many of us in his tiny body's suffering, and his departure made a strong impression on the staff and our group. I hope and pray that there will be people like you and Brenda to continue to serve the Nicaraguans they have come to know and love...and those yet to be touched by God's grace. Now for some better news - I have asked a member of our congregation who is a lawyer for Bimbo, the Mexican bakery which puts bread and other baked goods from PA to Nicaragua<br />in grocery stores. He was confident, with proper connections, that we could get their product, through the Mexican company headquarters, into the renutrition center...and I'd LOVE if that could be pluralized!! I also reconnected with a technology person from my school's staff yesterday about computers for your school.At first he could not remember the exact name, but finally together, we located "One laptop per child", which is apparently an offshoot of Amazon.com. I spent an hour on their site yesterday, and was surprised to see that they already provide their computers in the eastern coast town of Bluefields, Nica. I'm not sure how the NICA III would qualify for their program, and had to move on to other responsibilities, unfortunately. BUT he-and I- felt that the Apple products our school works with would not be wise to place in Nica, due to their expense and lack of co. infrastructure in Nicaragua. If you would like me to, I'd be happy to follow through in whatever capacity I can. I have not contacted Brenda yet on the Bimbo bread, but hope to tomorrow.<br />God bless your mission, inspiration, and plans for developing a wonderful new education experience for the students-and teachers-who will soon be working with you in Matagalpa! What an exciting and awesome challenge, and I know you'll do it with much faith!<br />Best wishes, Carol A. Little calart128@verizon.netCarol A.
