Football, gardens and perfect scores in Nicaragua
It’s been a few weeks since we have written a blog from our project in the Nicaraguan community La Thompson, so we thought it was about time to give an update on what´s been going on. 
The community gardens that were constructed and planted a few months ago are starting to show great progress: little watermelons are starting to show and the beetroots and tomatoes are almost ready to be harvested. 
The banana trees that were planted take a few years before they give fruit however in a few months the growth is definitely noticeable. As you can see form the photos it’s amazing what a little hard work and rain can accomplish! 
Furthermore, we have some good news from our afternoon English classes: nearly all the regular attendees scored a near perfect score on our first official English exam. 
For many of them this is their time studying English so it’s a great accomplishment. As well some of the volunteers have been playing football (soccer for you North Americans) with a women’s team formed with some of the members of the English class and one their last game 3-1! 
Lastly, we would like to mention that for the first time in Nicaragua GVI Phoenix has a group of family volunteers building stoves together. We are all excited to have the Serre family with us and wish them the best of luck.
