Two of our staff memebers were able to travel this year to Nicaragua to see firsthand the impact and progress that is being made to help the local community. The initiative in Nicaragua includes growing food to produce locally grown resources. There are two greenhouses that have already been planted with 600 tomato plants, 600 sweet pepper plants, and a third greenhouse that is experimenting with a variety of 20 different vegetables to see what else may thrive in the tropical climate. There are 3 feeding centers that have provided 72,612 meals to date in the families in need in the community.
