Review for Circulo De Amigas, Huntington Beach, CA, USA
Circulo de Amigas is making a difference--in my life and in the life of a young woman who is studying to be a nurse at the university nearby.
When my husband and I were assigned our student as sponsors, we didn't really know what to expect.
Only by communicating often over the last 6 years, being provided with her reports of progress and finally visiting her twice that, in our eyes, a student who was a photo and a number has transformed into a caring young woman whose primary goal is to obtain an education and a career to support herself and her son.
If you have not been to Jinotega, it is difficult to understand the depth of poverty in the barrios of this beautiful mountain town.
Funds provided by us have given our student and her family a sturdy roof over their heads, a concrete wall to divert a contaminated stream and other materials. They still have dirt floors, but hopefully , that will change one day as well.
Circulo de Amigas provides a way in which we can directly affect the life and education of one person--it is only one, but some day, it will be many.
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
...visiting Jintega twice to see what has transpired since we were first there. Many changes have taken place: a much-improved library, a gardening project for many families, a fruit-tree planting project, a new fence for a playground, etc.etc. There are two many things to mention.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
I would increase the volunteers who are sponsors. The same people continue to do the heavy lifting for the organization.
