Nicaragua – Maranatha School ($15,400)
Marantha School is operated by Maranatha Church of the Assembly of Christian Churches (a Moravian denomination not to be confused with the Assemblies of God Churches) in Bilwi City, Port Cabezas, Nicaragua – an area with a predominately illiterate adult population. The school provides a basic secondary education from an integrated Christian perspective to 200 students with an evening program that ultimately affects another 300 students in part time studies. The school was operating with six partially built classrooms when it was struck by Hurricane Felix in September of 2007. This project will restore the six damaged classrooms and add two additional classrooms which were part of the original construction plan. The building is also being used as a Bible Institute to promote theological education (including courses from MINTS – Miami International Seminary) to pastors and Christian leaders in the area.

Nicaragua – Hurricane Felix Recovery and Development
Two projects are planned for the second half of 2009 to continue recovery and development efforts related to Hurricane Felix which devastated the north eastern part of Nicaragua in late 2007. Many families have still not rebuilt their homes due to lack of resources. One project will provide building materials to several communities so they can build 16 by 20 feet homes. As well, an agricultural program is being planned for Dakura (where 180 families have already rebuilt homes using materials provided by Word & Deed – see picture) to replace the fishing industry which was wiped out by the hurricane. Both projects are estimated to be $50,000 CDN / $40,000 US.
