Corazones y Manos trabajando juntos para mejorar la vida, which translates to “Hearts and Hands working together to improve lives”, is a saying that will stay with me for the rest of my life. In July of 2015, I was lucky enough to be selected to go on a missionary trip to Managua, Nicaragua. I went with the North County Mission of Hope, which is a spiritually-based humanitarian organization. The Mission of Hope works to help improve the lives of the needy in Nicaragua with programs involving education, healthcare, community and ecological development. The week I stayed in Nicaragua opened my eyes and helped me to realize my calling in life. Throughout the week I was there, our group did many different projects for the people in Managua.
