After almost two years of planning, a group of 12 adventurous souls will embark on a journey of living faith to Managua, Nicaragua representing the youth of Winnipeg, Manitoba and the United Church of Canada.
We will be leaving on March 23, 2012 from Winnipeg at 8 am. We anticipate a day of travel with butterflies in our stomachs and great anticipation in our hearts. We go with the blessings of our two congregations, St. Mary's Road United and Kildonan United.
We will be hosted by Companeros http://www.companeros.ca/ who are experts in working with groups from all over the world who want to learn more about life in the developing world, and giving opportunities to us to live in Nicaraguan households and work in a community development project in Barrio Grenada, Managua.
There is a jam packed program that we will share with you hopefully on a daily basis during our trip and afterwards as we return to our "normal" lives. I anticipate we will all look at daily living in Canada with a different lens.
We want to thank our congregations, communities, and the Opt In fund as well as the National United Church for their support.
The leaders, Brian, Julia and Nancy have faith that this will be a great journey and experience for all us and hope to share our experiences as we go.
