Supplies Ready for Nicaragua

With the help of many volunteers, Austin Samaritans has prepared a shipment of medical and computer supplies for our mission partners in Nicaragua.

To prepare this shipment, we teamed with volunteers from First EV Free Church, Westlake Hills Presbyterian Church, First United Methodist Church, Hope Presbyterian Church, and students from Concordia University in Austin. Now with the assistance of Craters and Freighters, these supplies will be loaded onto a cargo ship bound for Nicaragua in the next couple weeks.

Austin Samaritans sends our sincere thanks to all our volunteers and generous benefactors that enable us to reach out to those in need in Central America.

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.
