La Flor

Air mattresses rustling. An occasional mosquito buzzes by. A snore begins and then a symphony. Roosters start crowing way before the sun starts to rise. The cooks light the fire in the cocina and the rice and beans and fruit will soon be ready.

 

So began every day in La Flor. We had an incredible week: a warm welcome to the village, time in the classrooms everyday with the children and teachers, building 2 latrines on the new land where 20 families got new property of their own, rather than living 2-3 generations in a home, building a shower where groups like ours can bathe in La Flor, visiting the micro credit businesses of the women there: all this and more is thanks to the generosity of friends and members of Ktizo.

 

The stories will be shared on Sunday April 6 by the Nica Team. We have so many photos to download and such an experience to processin our hearts and minds. Each time I speak in La Flor I say,”We are a team of 8 people, but there are hundreds of people behind us making this partnership possible.” We will be planning for our 2015 trip, in the beautiful month of March? If you are thinking of going, talk with any of our team members: Becky Boston, Diane Detweiler Zapp, Susan Felt, Colleen Hallberg, Amy Karansky, Max McHugh, Pastor Nancy.
