Today, we visited the small Miskito village of Botania. I was thrilled to be able to go. Three years ago, I spent several days building houses in this hurricane ravaged village with a group of rolling hills high school students. I fell in love with the joyful people in this desperately poor area. Today, we enjoyed seeing a community garden that Austin is building to drastically help the village, watching little pigs run around like puppies, and eating coconuts straight off the trees. However, for me, the best part was seeing the houses we had helped build. They were painted bright, cheerful colors and looked cherished. It reminded me that the work we did then and the work we are doing now can help bring joy to these precious people in Nicaragua.
