Las Torres

Text Box: LAS TORRES, NICARAGUA The Las Torres neighborhood holds some of the worst conditions in which any adult or child could exist. Outside there is exposed sewage, a poor water supply, gang activity with rampant thieving, glue sniffing, drug and alcohol abuse, prostitution, teen and unwed mothers, high unemployment and abject poverty - even for those who can find work. For those lucky enough to have housing, the standard structure is covered with gaping tree limbs and roof materials, rusty and sharp scrap metal walls, a single hose water line, a concrete sink for the kitchen and haphazard bedding barely raised off the packed mud floors. Some safer block houses have been built by many missionary groups. There are good churches ministering to broken spirits and offering hope for the after life, but a practical way out of the earthly despair has come from the education provided to the children. While some individual stories have changed by the efforts of the churches, the children of Las Torres need a school to secure their future stories. The parents don’t have money, but have agreed to donate their time to the school’s betterment; won’t you help from here?
