Read on for Good News about the beginning of the School Year in Chacraseca... and the Bakery Dream in Santa Emilia... and the Clinics in both communities! And be sure to check out the upcoming PartnerTrips and Come and See Trips to find one that will fit your schedule and interest! *DID YOU KNOW????* Most of JustHope's donors give between $20 - $50 -- not huge gifts, but gifts that combine with other gifts to make HUGE differences in Nicaragua. We can do SO MUCH MORE together than any of us could do alone! Paz y Solidaridad (Peace and Solidarity) * Leslie* *[image: Classrrom in Chacraseca]Project Education!!!* The 2009 School Year started in Chacraseca in February and the ongoing commitment of JustHope's Donors and Partners could be seen in big ways! - Several teachers had new teaching supplies and resources thanks to gifts from JustHope Supporters and Partners! - Music classes started again at Maryknoll school where last year JustHope Partner *United Church of the Valley in Murrieta, CA* birthed a music and arts program by donating instruments and teaching both students and teachers how to play them. They created resources for an each-one-teach-one way to make the program locally sustainable. *UCV*will be returning in June with more music and art support! - And this year almost 80% of the children in Chacraseca are attending school thanks to scholarships provided by JustHope Partner *Church of the Beatitudes in Phoenix, AZ* and by Chacraseca's other solidarity partners in New York, Alabama, North Carolina, and Oklahoma. $20 buys classroom supplies for one teacher; $40 sends one child to primary school for one year; $160 sends one youth to high school for a year; $600 provides one year of University Education.

Not just for themselves and their families, but for their community. And they have named their dream "Milagro de Belen." Belen means "House of Bread" in Hebrew and the dream of these six women is to build their own "house of bread" - a small bakery (panderia in Spanish) where they can produce a few simple varieties of bread each day to sell in their community. Their community will benefit from having fresh bread locally available, and the women will earn a few dollars each month to supplement their families' meager incomes. They have almost completed their business plan -- the first one any of them have ever created -- and a *JustHope Support Partner* has provided half the funding they will need to get started ($2000). Now they are waiting on the rest of the miracle... Did you know that "wating" and "hoping" are the same word in Spanish? Esperanza...

But, *JustHope Partners and Supporters *are stepping up to fill the gap. A year-end gift from a JustHope *Doctor in Solidarity,* covered January and February. And $350 a month has been pledged toward continuing these VITAL services. As Community Leader, Noe Arauz, said *"Without health care, none of the other projects matter!"* To pledge Clinic Support for 2009 or for more information on *JustHope's Doctor's in Solidarity* *Partnership* (click here<leslie@xxxxxxxxxxxx>). * * More Clinic Support from *JustHope's Doctor's in Solidarity[image: Women in Santa Emilia]* - Dr. Ivan Melendez, part of JustHope's Doctor's in Solidarity Partnership, will be leading a medical support delegation to Chacraseca this summer. Doctor's in Solidarity work with and under the direction of Dr. Daisy Reyes, Chacraseca's doctor, to provide support and resources to the clinic and community health bridgade. - Dr. Boyd Shook, has designed and donated a medical records softward program for rural health clinics, and a computer for Chacraseca's clinic! March 2nd, he is traveling to Chacraseca to assist Dr. Reyes in converting the clinic to the new system. - JustHope Partners *Trinity UCC in Cheney, KS* continue their support of the start-up clinic in Santa Emilia.
