Nicaragua Mission trip

My name is Max and I am trying to raise money for a  mission trip with my school to Nicaragua. The money you donate will go to hygenic products such as soap and toothbrushes that we take for granted, toys and clothes for the Children, and most importantly building materials for the complex that Don Bosco Prep and the family of Fr. Manny Gallo have been expanding on for years. We will be going on February break, 2017 with a select group of under 20 guys. The cinder block and mortar building with metal sheet roofing seems like luxury to these people who live in houses made of whatever they can find in the trash. The more material we can afford, the better the complex will be. Most of the houses for a full family are not even the size of one master bathroom. We need all the help we can get in an effort to build the best structures possible to help and serve as many of the Nicaraguan street families and children as possible. We also make a trip to a center for children with disabilities and spend a full day with them. I have been told by my older peers who have done this trip that when you get there you immediately want to give all you have to these people, no matter how much you bring, you wish you brought more. We also spend a day on top of a landfill and interact with the people who are picking through mounds of rancid trash to find plastic bottles or cans to sell for their value of a few cents. We offer them a hot lunch usually of rice and beans and they are extremely thankful. I found out about this trip in freshman year and immediately knew it was something I had to be a part of in my senior year. We get the opportunity to live among the poor yet extremely caring people of Nicaragua and see what it is like to live as they do. The ultimate goal is to build an area that can be a safe haven for children and adults who need medical and dental care or just a safe clean place to run around and be kids so that they can keep living well, long after we have gone. Even a small donation will help me reach my goal. Thanks for your support! Here is the Video describing the work done last year.
