The School’s Name…

Colegio Cristiano en Nicaragua (Nicaragua Christian School)

The School’s Motto…

Una Familia Para Cristo (One Family for Christ)

The School’s Purpose…

To provide a Christian education for the impoverished children of Leon, Nicaragua.

To show them the love of Christ each and every day!

Education in Nicaragua• Fewer than half the

children in Nicaragua attend school.• The reason… there is

no money for uniforms, supplies and tuition.

Poor Living Conditions• Many live in homes

with dirt floors, cook over open fires and eat rice and beans almost exclusively.• Many children who

attend school are hungry.

Hope for the Future• Education is their only

hope for a brighter future.• They know this.• They need your help.

What Matters Most…Teaching Jesus Christ!
