Well said, chris, it's good to have a fresh eye on the situation.
It's been so good, over the last two days, to meet up again with zelinda and Carlos. Especially good to meet again with educadores whom we first met two or even four years ago, like Juan Carlos who worked at the quinchos centre on the tip at la chureca, teaching kids how to weave hammocks. He's now working at the filter house in Managua, a challenging job - all the children have to spend their first months at the filter house, getting themselves clean from glue sniffing and other habits. Juan Carlos was very keen today to practise his English, he wants to get to the USA later this year. He's also a mean break dancer!
Good too to see familiar children who remembered us , two years on the boys are a little bit taller, the girls more confident. Lovely to see Belen who was such a neat dancer last time and has real talent for acrobatics and a wonderful smile.
M aggie's son Robert who was here with PWB last year has made a very lasting contribution here and we bathed in his reflected glory, the mama and Tia of Robert!
