Our mission team from Auburn United Methodist Church in Auburn, AL will be going to El Ayudante, Nicaragua on April 17-April 24, 2010. There are 19 of us on the team, age ranges from 50+ to 70+ working on several projects. The construction group will be building an outdoor kitchen for women in Nicaragua to help increase their family incomes by selling the food they make. Those working on this project will be Glen Glover, our team leader, with Denver Walker, J. O. Conway, Cecil Yarbrough, and Jim Burton.
Two of our members will be fitting adults in the area of Leon, Nicaragua with reading glasses and sun glasses. Lynn Bell and Jim Worthington have this down to a fine art as they have worked together doing this on previous mission trips.
The remaining 12 members of the team are doing VBS with children. They will be doing a Bible School program at 4 different schools in the Leon area, 100 kids per day for a total of about 400 children. The team members of the VBS work team are Lisa Norrell, Betty Corbin, Angie Conway, Evelyn Leachman, Jean Turney, Gale Walker, Keith Ward, Rowena Ward, Cissy Yarbrough, Jenny Jenkins and serving as the VBS leaders are Madge Burton and Julie Downes. In addition to implementing the 4 VBS programs, these team members will also be delivering care boxes to the poor at a dump site, and working with the 33 orphaned children who live at El Ayudante in various activities . Here is the link to the El Ayudante website for those interested in reading about where we will be staying and working.
