The Children of El Congrejo

Geographically, El Congrejp is maybe 15 miles from San Juan del Sur, but getting there requires an hour by horse from the closest barrio.  Between car and horse, it took almost one hour and forty-five minutes to get from my house in SJDS to El Congrejo.

I went there with my friend Eric Blackburn and the Dawson Creek (Canada) Rotary, who set up a sewing center for women.  I'll have more to say about the project later, but in the meantime here are some photos of the kids.  I don't have room on the main page to post them all, so I added a few more to my Nicaraguan album.
