Nicaragua 2010.2

In August of 2010, Austin Samaritans visited Colegio Cristiano Presbiteriano school classrooms in the Barrio Hialeah de Managua, and toured the school's expansion site.

We also met with representatives from Fundación Ortiz Gurdian who maintain the cancer registry (CANREG 5) for Nicaragua. Many of the chemotherapy medicines and supplies on hand were given to the cancer center by Austin Samaritans' generous donations.
