Hola Managua y Siuna

Our plane in the Sinua airport.

We were lucky to have real coffee with our breakfast. Most often the coffee they serve is instant. We were off first thing at 7 AM for the airport for a flight to Sinua. It´s a sunny, muy caliente, hot day for our flight. We fly over volcanos and Lake Managua for about an hour to Sinua. Sinua is a relatively large community in the northeast, very remote. Rafael who is the local person who works with JP has met us at the airport. We spend the day meeting with the vice director of the health center, local family advocate for kids with differences. We are trying to hear from the community how we can best help them. There are about 200 kids in the area without services, no school, regular therapy and volunteer support only for families. The doctors are learning alot from us about physical therapy.  We are eager to share our observations about the environment. Much of the street, stairs are not up to building codes that we are use to!

We think we are meeting with 25 families tommorrow and a small idea of the agenda.  Hopefully between tonight and tommorrow at 1PM the plan will be a bit clearer.

Hasta Luego
