Meet the team in Nicaragua - Tita

Tita has worked with GVI Phoenix Nicaragua since June 2010 and has been instrumental in the success of our newest project in Chiriza. Tita was selected as the community coordinator for Alexis Arguello (Chiriza) in 2009. This section of Chiriza consists of 7,000 inhabitants who originally squatted illegally on this land above Estelí. Tita has helped bring legalization to this portion of Chiriza and continues her strong leadership on a day to day basis in this up and coming community. Tita came to Chiriza in hopes of having her own plot of land and her own home. Before working with GVI Phoenix, Tita worked in a restaurant in Estelí. Now, Tita works with the preschool children in our school each day, upwards of 45-55 children, and is a strong local presence that we must have in our school. Tita states that the GVI Phoenix project in Chiriza was the first major project in the whole community and that it has brought food and education to many children who otherwise would have gone without both. She thanks GVI Phoenix staff and volunteers for believing in her community and for following through even though it has not always been easy. On a personal note, Tita states that she enjoys her job and this is evidenced by her commitment to the children and project each day.
