Plans announced for 2017 trip to Nicaragua

The highlight will be placing shoeboxes and layettes in the hands of those who need them

So far we’ve done the work part of the shoebox project. Now comes the fun part—traveling south to help hand them out and to see the many projects we’re involved in.

The trip will be eight days December 13 thru the 20^th. Land portion is once again $775 plus $210 for single occupancy. Make your own travel arrangements, choosing from United, American or Delta. All arrive in Managua within an hour of the others.

To be on the trip, you must sign up and pay by November 5. Click here for more details, then click here to submit your details for joining our team in Nicaragua!
