In July 2024, FBCA2 youth will be traveling from the U.S. on a service-learning trip to a remote, rural village in Nicaragua!

We'll be working with an organization called AMOS Health & Hope, which reduces health inequities in Nicaragua by empowering local leadership to prevent disease and save lives.

In collaboration with AMOS staff and Nicaraguan community members, our team will support short-term projects that advance the long-term goals identified by community members themselves.

We will be helping to install water filters, leading fun activities for children, and learning about life and culture in another country. We will also learn about community-based health care, which will help us better support and advocate for others in our communities.

An estimated 30% of the population of Nicaragua lives on less than $2 per day, which makes access to essential medications and health care very difficult. Every day, children die of completely preventable and treatable diseases as simple as diarrhea or pneumonia.

To go on the trip, each participant needs to raise about $1,000, and to execute our projects, our team needs to raise about $7,500 together!

Your support of our trip will give our youth and their families the opportunity to have a transformative experience in another country. Plus, you will help us purchase needed supplies - like water filters and materials for kids' activities - and transport them down to Nicaragua.

Thank you for your support of our youth and of the people of Nicaragua! We are grateful for you!
