So today we took the kids back to La Chureca, the dump in Managua. I had never seen anything like it. My heart broke for these kids. They were literally living on heaps of trash. When we got out of the van with the kids, we began talking with some of the kids nearby. I just began looking at the faces of the people we saw. It was a look of desperation and hopelessness. In that moment, I knew that this is why I was here. To share a hope that only God could bring to their lives. As we were getting ready to leave, one of the little girls gave me a hug and said “I love you” in English. This was one of the phrases we had been working on during our English lessons with the kids. She was so proud of herself. It was really sweet!
