Acción Médica Cristiana, La Dalia, Nicaragua
Photos from my visit to Nicaragua in July of 2011. I was visiting villages in the mountains in North-West Nicaragua in the department of Matagalpa, where Acción Médica Cristiana works to empower women and improve lives through small savings groups, a cow-bank program, health clinics, and other strategies.

Reviewing photos from my visit to Nicaragua in July of 2011, I happened upon this gem. I was visiting a remote village in the mountains in North-West Nicaragua in the department of Matagalpa, where Acción Médica Cristiana works to empower women and improve lives through small savings groups, a cow-bank program, health clinics, and other strategies. Their website: amcenglish.org.

My second-to-last day of work in Nicaragua, and the car got stuck on a rock in a deep bog of mud. As we debated what to do, considering pushing it out, a man came by on a mule, and offered to take me the last bit of the journey to the village where I scheduled to visit. It ended up being only about a mile over the next hill, a rocky, muddy, unstable climb and descent that the care never would have made, even if it had not gotten stuck in the mud. It was a fun twist and adventure, a nice twist towards the end of the trip.
