Empowering Nicaraguan youths to grab a hold of their world and see a brightness of future by assisting them in identifying their goals and needs, constructing a roadmap to get there, and partnering in the implementation of effective plans so that young Nicaraguans can build their tomorrow...
One day at the food market Elizabeth and I were buying food. I was
pushing the trolley. After we got all the food I asked Elizabeth ’’can I
scan the food on to the scanner thing please?” Elizabeth said ‘’maybe,” but all of the scan things had a big line so I didn’t get to do it that
time. Next we went to my first automatic car wash. The car wash was fun because the spinning,
moving blue things would go on the front of the car, I asked Alex
’’what are those?” and he said ‘’they’re lots of Smurfs.” Elizabeth and I
laughed out loud, hahahaha. Then when the car was being rinsed Alex
scared me by saying ‘’we are moving, we are moving!” so I was a little
scared.
After the car wash, Alex, Elizabeth and I got a surprise for
me, it was icing, no I mean it was ice cream! Then when we got home I still had
my ice cream and then Elizabeth and Alex said to me "the dogs like ice
cream!" so I got a spoon, I put ice cream on it and gave it to the dogs,
they slobbered! then Alex said to me "we give ice cream to the dogs on
their birthday." Then we all went to get my dad and a Bboy named "Jonny." Last I watched TV with everybody.

Lorenzy with her cute little cousins in Rochester, New York
Right now, I am in Rochester, New York.
I am staying with some friends of mine and my family’s, the Seaburgs. I am also
here to visit my uncle, aunt, and their kids. I love being here. The people are
really nice.
Sometimes when I go places like church, or
to someone’s house with the Seaburgs or my uncle or aunt, I almost always have
somebody say “LORENZY!!! How are you? I haven’t seen you for so long! I think
the last time I saw you was when you were like two years old!” And most of the
time I’m thinking in my head “I have no idea who you are but I’ll just act like
I know you.” So I’m like “Ohh yeah.. Hey… What’s up?” It is horrible. However,
sometimes the people start out saying “You probably don’t remember me…” and
that doesn’t make me feel so guilty.
About a week after staying in the Seaburg’s
new house, Josiah (the Seaburg’s oldest child) and I decided to make cookies.
But not just any type of cookies, chocolate chip cookies.
We had so much fun making them. Izzy (the
youngest child of the Seaburg family) helped us by pouring the ingredients into
a huge clear bowl that we were using. She accidently dropped some of the brown
sugar on the floor but no one seemed to notice much.
I mixed the ingredients together and Josiah
did pretty much everything else. Once the cookie dough was all done, Cora and
Aidan(Their other kids) came over to us
and asked us if they could have some cookie dough. We obviously said “no” since
we made the cookie dough and also we are just really mean!
One of the best parts was next. We got to
grab the gooey yellowish coloured dough and shape it into not so perfect
circles. We watched T.V. whist we waited and when the house started smelling of
wonderfully baked cookies, we took them out and set them on a tray to cool and
put some more on trays to go into the oven.
We did that about three times until they were
all done. Then, Jenny told Cora and Izzy to go and take some cookies to the
neighbors. After the cookies had been delivered to some of their new neighbors,
we got to have a few cookies each. Only a few of the cookies that we made were
burnt, besides that they were absolutely PERFECT!
About two days later, we decided to make
more cookies since the ones we had made before were so good. We did the exact
same things as before so that they would be as awesome as the last time.
However, Izzy did not help us this time. At
the end, after we had made a bunch of normal sized cookies, Josiah and I
decided to make one big cookie. We did not have too much dough left over but it
was bigger and fatter than all the other cookies. When it was done we split it between
ourselves (Josiah and I).

When people from
the community come to us for help, we normally help them as much as we can.
They ask us if we
can take them to the hospital or if we can help them get medicine and things
like that. If we have our car or if we have money that we can use to help them,
then we help as much as we can.
One day, a mum of
one of the kids from the school gave my sister a letter and she told her to
read it to my dad. When she arrived home she read it to my dad. The letter read
that someone in her family was sick and she wanted us to help her. It was a
little girl that was sick but it didn’t say whom.
It was a Tuesday
night and every Tuesday we go to barrio loco to play pool. Before we went to
barrio loco my dad said to me if I wanted to go with him on a daddy-daughter
date and I accepted. He said to me that first we would have to make a few
stops.
The first place
that we went to was to the aunt of the kid that was sick. My dad was going to
tell them that we didn’t have any money to help and that we were very sorry we
could not help. He then said to me that we could help a little bit if the
little girl was from the school that we have, but he thought that she wasn’t.
We went to the
mother’s house to tell her that we were sorry but we could not help right now.
When we got to her house, he started telling her that but then he asked her who
the kid was. She was holding Nayeli in her arms and said that they were going
to take her to hospital.

My dad asked her
what she wanted him to do and she said that in the morning she had to go to the
hospital and they were going to do some exams on the little girl and he needed
another woman to help her hold Nayeli still.
She also explained
that she has problems with nervousness and other people she had asked had said
that they could not help her because they were scared.

My dad said that
him and I would go with her in the morning to the hospital.
In the morning, my
dad woke me up and told me it was time to go. It was six o’clock on the dot and
we had to go to the hospital.
I got ready as
fast as I could and then went outside. I didn’t even have time to eat! Outside
it was nice and cool. Sitting upon a bench on our front porch was Nayeli, her
mum, and her dad.
Nayeli
As soon as my dad
walked out of the house, we all jumped into the car and went off to the hospital.
For most of the time, our journey was silent with just the radio in the
background. We arrived at the hospital but the mum said that it was the wrong
hospital.
My dad did not
know which hospital the lady was talking about so he asked somebody from the
hospital that we were at if he knew where the other hospital was. He told us
that we were very far away from the other one, La Mascota, but an ambulance was
going there and so we followed the ambulance.
The ambulance was
fun to follow but he was going so fast and it was hard to keep track of him.
Once we got to the
hospital we went into a room and they gave baby Nayeli an injection in the arm.
Once that was done we had to wait in the waiting room for a very long time. My
dad kept on asking me what we were waiting for but I didn’t know.
Finally they
called us in after we had been waiting for a few hours and they took some
x-rays (I think) of her. One of her body parts was too small and so they had to
stick something in her too see what was happening.
They told us to
take her pants off and lay her down on the table. Once she was lying down and
they hadn’t even touched her she had already started screaming and crying.

They told me to
hold her arms down and so I did it. They told the mum to hold her legs open and
so she did it.
The doctor came
over and put some needle thing attached with a cord in her and then he told us
that we just had to wait, so we waited whilst they put stuff in her.
Once they finished
that part they took out the needle and told her to pee and then she could go.
She didn’t want to and so she started screaming and crying even louder.
We waited about
ten minutes until she finally did it. They then put her in a shower and rinsed
her off. Then we left and the little girl was normal again.
When we got home I
was so tired and everybody was asking us where we were and if I was ok because
I was so tired. I told them that we went to the hospital.
Now the girl is ok
but they have to give her medicines and things like that.
