A group led by Gaylon Sieler recently returned from a trip to Nicaragua.
The group spent their time with their friends and the families they support at El Convento, taking them to the market, the doctor, and even for a fun day at the beach. There was also a food distribution, done through the church at a special blessing service, which included the basics: beans, rice, oil, corn flour, and sugar.
Some time was spent with the farm committee discussing the issues facing the farm, and the progress it is making so far. A great-looking tomato crop is growing, though the farm is at the tail-end of the rainy season and facing some challenges with the pump used to provide water for irrigation.
