“Are you sure we’re not lost?” are the words that will go through your mind as you travel out to San Jose de Los Remates. Currently a narrow dirt road that seems to go on forever takes you to this quiet community found in the middle of the mountains of Nicaragua. After more than an hour and a half on this dusty road you will come over a hill and suddenly find yourself in a small sleepy town. You’ve arrived at San Jose.

The Public Library of San Marcos was founded in 1986 by a group of teachers who wanted to provide resources for local schools and to empower members of the wider community in improving their own lives. One of these community members, Emerson, sold tortillas as a child in order to pay for school, but joined a library club that promoted reading. He now studies medicine.

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.

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.
