Granada’s Vida Joven program is completely self funded, generally through selling the bracelets, candles, etc that we make out of jicaro, which falls from a few of the trees around El Puente. Recently we’ve started making bracelets out of paper beads as well, but the income from these projects are not able to finance our goal of starting a new club in a barrio on the other side of town, a dream first discussed over a year ago. Last year, Vida Joven organized a 5K race to raise funds and raised about $4000 and we are repeating the race with the hope of doubling last year’s donations.
We hope you will sponsor youth in this year’s race. If you’d like to help, we suggest the following sponsorship levels:
Single Sponsorship: $5
Triple Sponsorship: $15
Quintuplets: $25
Ten Youngsters: $50
(any amount is welcome!)
Checks may be mailed to:
Adventures in Missions

Attention: Nicaragua Kids Camp Fun Run (don’t forget this!)
Or, sponsorships may be made online at:

Its easy.
