 Scrapbook - Nicaragua/PanamaStarting in August of this year, the international site for volunteers will move from Nicaragua to Panama. Below are some photos from Don Mueller's recent trip to Panama. Under that are photos from Bluefields, Nicaragua.
The Parish of St. Pio will established last August and serves a new urban development (photo above). 3000 new homes have already been built. Another 1000 will be finished before the end of this year. On of the main tasks of the new volunteers is to do home visitation and a census of this new area. The older section of the parish has 3000 homes.
There is a dynamic youth choir that leads the singing on Sunday mornings at the main parish chapel.
