BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE
Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

Thanks for putting a smile on my face, you guys are doing some great work down there.
the work you guys are doing on behalf of all of us is incredible. Thank you.
It was a great last full day in Esteli. First up was a tour of Joya De Nicaragua. Have to say I learned so much on this one not only about cigars but also Nicaragua's history.
This box was from the 1970's.

You guys are doing some awesome work. Thanks for that!

Today we did a quick visit to the school in Communities La Cruz. This is the place they have the dump for Esteli and most of the families work at it.
It's feet or mules/horses in this area for the locals
They have three rooms one is the library
Next is the kitchen/cafeteria
And last the class room. Most days 30 children are using them
The school also teaches farming
What the children have as a play ground
All the children came out for a photo at the end
After the school visit we walked to a few of the homes. It was very wet and muddy so we only saw a small portion of the village
The old school has been turned into a community area
Walking down from the community area into the village
A few homes in the village
On the way out a truck hauling trash from Esteli
Some farming on the way back to Esteli

As Joe says this schools is near the dump , the village in the pic is a small sample of the families that live in LA Cruz . The water system at the school is a battery operated pump system , ie pumping from well to tank, then gravity feed . The food is brought up daily from Esteli , and reheated for the kids by a mother ......
Pics look great!!! Thanks for sharing @BradMc
