Well, this was another reason for coming to Nicaragua. Through the organisation World Vision I have been supporting a kid in Nicaragua as a sponsor for the past couple of years and now I had the chance to meet her.

And it was one of the greatest days of my trip so far. Too much to tell in a few words but I got to meet with this 8 year old girl called Keli Damaris Martinez Guevara (isn't that just a great name!) and her family, spent some time taking, looking at postcards from Switzerland and then we also went out to see some projects of World Vision.

I haven't got a lot of pictures (yet) but this is me with Keli (sorry about the bad quality of this shot):



And this is Keli on the right in the fornt with her younger sister, her parents and her granddad. Her older sister couldn't come along because they only have 3 bycicles to make the trip to the comunity center where I met them...



Now if you are interested what World Vision is all about you can check out their website in Switzerland www.worldvision.ch or their international site at www.worldvision.org

In this "case" Keli, her sisters and her family get heath check-ups, the kids get there vacinations, they can buy school books at lower prices, they get f.e.building material for their house, the community gets colour to paint the school, water purification systems are being built and so on. Generally the support should help them to survive (!) and go to school and learn to help themselves when they are grown up... it as simple as that!
