Holidays end soon and on January 24 th the new school year will start. This is the time with lots of expenses for the families, especially when they have many children. There is no school fee but the necessary uniforms, shoes, day packs and personal things like pens and papers cost a lot and so we support the girls with those necessary items. When teaching has started the children will come again for support for their homework, the group experience helps increase the energy to really attend classes and together they have meals and snacks and a lot of fun.
We plan to start soon some new activities, I will report about that next time.

new challanges
By Katrin Hennings | Project Leader/chairman

Circumstances are changing ...our new challange is the increasing number of girls that is living without their parents. More and more people are leaving Nicaragua for various reasons and leave their families behind. The economical situation is extremely difficult.....What used to be an exception is now very common: parents leave their homes and their children behind.... their children stay on their own. 'Our' girls often not only have to look after themselves but also after their small brothers and sisters, after their homes and many of them spend their life on the street. Certainly this has an impact on our project. We continue to offer support for those visiting our house and they receive food, psychological support, help with homework, can take part in different activities ...but less and less girls manage to attend, therefore we visit them at home, work on the streets and they know that they can come back any time, ask for support, emotional and also very practical help if necessary with food, school utensils and whatever needed.
Our project continues with a new emphasis , more important than ever.

I am very happy that today I can tell you the story of Betty and Jennifer, two girls living in Barrio Sandino who managed with the support of the girls project to achieve a brilliant succsess: they study administration and contability at the University of Ocotal.
It was a long way to go...they both grew up in extreme poverty but with help of their families and the girls project, they finished primary and secondary school. Nicaragua project paid the expenses for the Escuela Nicarao where they could learn administration and contability in evening classes. Jennifer was the best in her class. In day time they worked in Barrio Sandino/Casa Nazareth with the younger girls, being a great example what could be achieved... They could continue their studies at the University of Ocotal, we paid the expenses.
Jennifer is now a final year student, Betty finished her studies and because of her brilliant results was offered a job at the University where she works in administration.
This is a story of truly sustainable help, two women who could change the condition of their and their families life.
