RELIEF

Below is Nanuska a Nicaraguan woman that had just lost her son. She was emotionally crushed and also very concerned about supporting the rest of her family without her sons' contribution. Native Ministry purchased and delivered all the supplies necessary to start her own business. She was overcome with joy and collapsed on the mountain of supplies. Her reaction was very moving, and to this day remains one of my favorite moments in the 17 year history of our Ministry.

ALL WOMEN'S SOUP KITCHEN IN JINOTEPE, NICARAGUA.

A handful of forgotten women and children experience a moment of civility as they exit the street and are welcomed into a friendly and clean environment. Each Saturday a hot meal and refreshments are provided for all. Each woman is greeted with a smile and catered to during their meal. Table tops are covered and newly constructed restroom facilities are available before and after meal time.

Impoverished Farmers rely on what's available to them, although conditions are primitive somehow they make do.

Partnering with Small Batch Farmers is based on personal relationships forged over multiple trips into the jungle. Pictured below is Indigenous Farmer, Placid Sanchez and Rev. Eric.

Pictured below is "Bodega" (Corner Store) inventory provided by Native Ministry to a Nicaraguan woman that had recently lost her teenage son. Upon hearing the tragic news the Native Team collected enough items for a two month supply including barrels, scoops, bags, paper products and sellable consumables for her to start her own Bodega. In Nicaraguan culture the sons are an important contributor to the family's household income. She now has a sustainable way to provide for her family.

It's always sad to see the women return to the streets after lunch.
