Partner Day and Team Meeting

Last Friday (April 18), we as MCC hosted our Nicaraguan/Costa Rican partners to celebrate the accomplishments of the past year. MCC, rather than having it's own programs, partners with local organizations in their work. Here in Nicaragua this is a diverse group, including a cultural center, a renewable energy organization, the social commissions of the Anabaptist churches, a university, a school for the deaf, and many others. Above, Hollmer Garcia shares about the successes of the Global Family program (scholarships through MCC for university students). Below, we as MCC workers prepare to share our drama.

We also have been celebrating the expansion of the MCC team. Last August we were 4. Now we are 16. In the past month we welcomed two new Nicaraguan team members. One is working with the church social commissions, and the other is working in the office (especially with exchange programs). They are adding great depth to our team discussions, as well as new fun to daily MCC office life.
