Hello Everyone!
Welcome to the Christ Church Youth Group blog! We will be posting updates of our time in Nicaragua (July 23-31) so you will be able to see and read what we're up to down there!
Christ Church is sending a delegation of 66 youth and advisors to Project Chacocente in Managua, Nicaragua. Project Chacocente takes families out of the Managua town dump and gives them the tools necessary for a better life, and helps them along the way. The project believes that creativity and cooperation are the solution to poverty. It is an integrated, multi-faceted program that incorporates housing, farming, job skills, education, social skills, parenting, life skills, nutrition and health, problem-solving, small business and values awareness into a single effort to transform the lives of the poorest of the poor (www.cumcfaithforward2009.org).
We leave in three days, and we're all getting really excited for it! Tonight is our "Nica" meeting where we will break out into our family groups and get to know each other a little better with some small group exercises. Later tonight we will be packing suitcases of items we will be taking to Project Chacocente.
Please continue to pray for all the youth and advisors as we get ready to go to Nicaragua! Continue to follow our blog, youth and advisors will be posting so you'll get several different takes on what is going on!
