The bus is driving up. We are ready for our first trip of the year to the beach. Promoted by our guests, the sister of Jonthan and her boyfriend.We load the food and drinks, the backpacks with bathing suits, extra clothes etc. The community core members are excited. Also on board are all the employees of the community house and our extra guests, Daniella and Jorge. Our inconditional friend Anielka supports us with her little bus to transport us where ever we want to go.
At the beach
When we left we did not yet know which beach we were going to visit. We wanted to find a different and cleaner beach than the one we went to last year, but our research prior to departure into alternative options was not conclusive. We knew what we wanted: a beach as near to Juigalpa as possible because we felt a four-hour journey by bus one way was quite enough; we also wanted a quiet beach with access to tables and chairs to enjoy our home-made food in comfort. We inspected a few beaches before we found our ideal beach and one we would use again a next time! The photos give an impression of the beach and surroundings.
Everybody enjoyed it to be in the water and time passed quick! There was a restaurant where we could hire tables and chairs . Because we brought our lunch meal and drinks, donated by another family friend, who owns a restaurant and provides our community with one meal every month on a day of our choice.
All is well that ends well
Time flew. It was about 4.30 pm and therefore the right time to pack up and travel back to Juigalpa. We made one stop in a little town to buy icecreams and at dinner time we were prepared to eat sandwiches in the bus, to shave time. We arrived around 8:30 pm, at home, tired but satisfied. We quickly got our core members ready for bed. All of them had enjoyed this day!
And the miracle was hat we almost spend no money because so many of our expenses were taken care of by friends!
Together we can make a difference. It is nice to see that this is continuously reflected in our work. We don't know what the future holds, but there is no doubt that our work is very worthwhile. Thanks to all of you, who are part of our work/our team!
