Christmas support

We had a most successful Christmas event at the Unitarian Chapel Billingshurst where we raised over £500.  Santa was amazing although not very many children visited.  We must publish pictures beforehand next year to attract interest. It was another great community event.




We had many donations of toys both before and at the event including a generous donation of new toys from a factory in Broadbridge Heath.  The owner offered to pay a donation to cover the potential duties charges as well. 



Christmas cards brought in further donations too. And we sold nearly all the cards we had printed.

I travel to Ometepe next week with approximately $6700, some of which is already committed for university fees, School funds, musical instruments.  Discussions will take place on my arrival and priorities will be agreed for the remainder.  Further electrical work is needed at Rafeala Herrera for one priority.

Teacher stationery and uniforms have been purchased and are awaiting along with many boxes of equipment.

And another batch of boxes was collected from my garage mid December.


My spare suitcase is packed to the brim and another couple of baby outfits were delivered today.  Tomorrow the Rotary sign will be ready.

January 2025 update

 And so the Ometepe project continues after eight year.  I had many interesting experiences visiting until the pandemic.  Many things have changed here but even more in Ometepe.  The Nicaraguan government have chosen their political allies which means that many NGOs and charitable groups no longer operate there.  The Peace and Hope Trust has contacts from SIFT who have a presence and they also have individuals who go to visit and do some work there, but this is on a lower scale than before. Our project continues because of our direct contact with local people, who are prepared to work on our behalf. There had to be a change of personnel organising the sourcing of goods and distributing it.  This rose after some problems in our contact's family.  The son Jordy has left home to live in Managua with his girlfriend and now has a good job, which is great after we supported him through university.  Jordy's father Marvin seems to be little evident in the...

Final farewells

Image
The end of the week has included two more school farewells, one at El Corozal and one at Las Pilas. And today I move on to another hotel, so the hotel owner is picking me up and taking me to Marvin's house. Patrick is coming too as he's doing some plumbing work.  Yesterday he went to the builders' merchant to buy the parts, with a lift from Carlos, who works here. I had a quiet morning having a drink with Jose and his friend in a little ranchita near the university. His friend is also a recovering alcoholic and has been sobre for 18 months during which time he has set up this little business selling fruit drinks and bottled drinks to the university students. He has constructed much of it himself in wood and it is very good. I keep my fingers crossed for these young men who have lost their way. It is such a waste of their lives.  They gave me cake and a pineapple smoothie and wouldn't let me pay anything. This has been a big change this year as before I rather felt peo...

Another good day's work.

On Wednesday we collected all the boxes from Marvin's house and took them to Santa Teresa. There were a few hiccups with the timings, but eventually everyone was gathered and the boxes, with Jordy accompanying us and Fanor once more our driver. We arrived at Santa Teresa and were warmly greeted. The equipment was delivered, staff were gathered and more speeches given. Jose was really good, talking a lot about caring for the equipment and the cost of maintenance.  The headteacher said this had been her dream and now it had come true. The speaker will be used for their cultural activities and the computer for making teachers' work easier, for preparing lessons and to access information for pupils. We purchased a Bluetooth device that enables them to connect to their mobile phone, as we cannot commit to installing Wi-Fi. We finalised measurements with Manuel who will build a little office space to keep everything safe. Next we went to Santa Teresa beach where we met with...
