One Year Anniversary Chiriza, Nicaragua


Recently, GVI Phoenix Nicaragua staff, volunteers, students in our school and their parents celebrated our school’s one year anniversary in Chiriza, Nicaragua. With more than 300 people in attendance, the party consisted of dancing routines by the students, speeches by GVI Phoenix staff members, piñata bashing, musical chairs and a meal for the students and their family members.

To top it off, our local builder, Don Pedro, who constructed our schools in La Thompson and Chiriza, was invited to finish off the piñata. Without hesitation, he proceeded to demolish what was left of the poor piñata! The day was very special and it’s hard to believe the progress we have made to this point. Special thanks to our local staff Karla, Tita and Yessenia and to our local builder Don Pedro and his sons. Also, a huge thanks to the volunteers who have worked so hard to make Chiriza what it is today! Here’s to another successful year!
