Program accomplishments

  • NiCE continued our Christian school sponsorship with partial support of 5 schools This funding helps with teachers pay and utilities. Our schools are located in high poverty areas. We continue to fund a 3-day yearly educational retreat for over 100 teachers from many different schools about 150 students. We helped fund ANEC to manage our schools since we are not able to go to Nicaragua personally any longer due to the governments ever-increasing restrictions on virtually everyone and everything. We also provide ANEC with funding for expenses for distribution and supervision.
