In 2004, the Benjamin Zeledon Library was funded by donations from alumni and the Nicaraguan government school department (MED). The library is part of a school (by the same name) in the town of Catarina, however because of the new building, the library is now open to the community. When Catarina’s public library was closed due to construction, this library served the needs of the entire population.

Guitars Needed:
La Yanka Library started almost 3 years ago with the help of a variety of businesses and organizations in Nicaragua. Carol de Hanón is a woman desiring to help the community of Nandaime. She is working hard to promote the enjoyment of getting lost in a good story that only reading can bring. That is a difficult task in a culture where books are only used when necessary for homework.

Guitars Needed: Even if you search for Namanji on Google Earth © you won’t get any results. Of course, it’s not on any paper maps either. This small town with no paved roads is made up of farm workers, producers of corn, beans, onions, tomatoes, watermelon, and cabbage.

Six hours from Managua, of which only two hours are on a paved road, lies Rancho Grande. This is a community where most inhabitants have no running water or no water supply at all. They are mostly farmers harvesting beans and corn. The people of Rancho Grande are timid and mostly keep to themselves. The occasional visitors they get are so rare that when they see a stranger they tend to stare. Rancho Grande is currently under the harsh treatment of a national drought.

The fifty guests invited to the re-inauguration were able to enjoy poems and songs done by the students of this school.

Guitars Needed: The Santa Matilde Community Library now sits it a building that began as a sewing school. Five years ago a U.S. based organization called Amigos for Christ opened the doors to this library. They started out with only a few books, but now the library has a collection of 1500. Like many libraries in Nicaragua, a great majority of students rely on the textbooks here to complete their homework assignments. Most don’t own their own books.

Guitars Needed: Santo Thomas del Norte is a small, humble community on the northern edge of Nicaragua. The only access route to this town was recently paved, allowing more opportunities of development in this rural area. The fourteen hundred inhabitants of Santo Thomas are friendly and outgoing. Most of the people are farmers and some raise small herds of cattle. The lack of rain and poor job opportunities has left many people trying to make a living off of low-paying temporal jobs such as coffee bean picking and road building.
