But, although there was a lot of controversy over this storm and that the local Government knew about it and could have prepared their people for the worst and the safety for preparedness, these people are some of the most tight knit people I’ve ever come across. A lot of the expat family here too jumped in (including a lot from companies - like NSR, church groups and just the all around non-Nicaraguan people who live here and have the means to do something about helping and cleaning up this mess. Had this been 10+ years ago, there wasn’t even a number of people close enough here who could help as much as they were able to by 2017. The way everyone came together was nothing short of incredible and the amount of humility shown was enough to give you chicken skin!!!! Let’s wait and see how badly this one ends up being and once again, it’s time to roll up our sleeves and give back to the country who has given all of us so so much in return for nothing. Stay strong Nicaragua…. you’ve got an amazing support system here now!!!! Please stay tuned….! ~
