All of the programs as CINAG are finishing their school year. The “Life Skills “ program finishes on November 19, the Preschool and High School are done on the 20th.

The staff at CINAG will stay on to take a complete inventory and do written reports. They also are planning the Christmas activities for the children and adolescents.

Elizabeth , the director of CINAG recently had a meeting with Child and Family services, and they have not changed their position. All centres will be closed and the children returned to their families where possible, and the others will go to Ometepe centre.
In view of limited possibilities of reinstating a resident program, the board and staff of CINAG are developing plans with local churches to have short retreats at CINAG for abuse victims and then continuing in a role of mentorship with volunteers on a local level.

Elizabeth writes “I strongly believe in CINAG. CINAG is a blessing to the children and adolescents. We are surprised to see the huge change in them and also in the women, mothers of these children. Due to regular medical attention and more nutritious lunches they are all healthier. We are very grateful to all who support the children and adolescents of CINAG. I know we don’t have the power to respond to each case of abuse, violence and poverty but together we can do something to correct the difficult situation our country and our children are in.”
