2001, Peace Corps volunteer Kerry MacKenzie orchestrated the construction of a small building that would be utilized by various programs throughout the years to help meet the needs of people living in the Monsignor Oscar Arnulfo Romero Neighborhood of Esteli, Nicaragua.
2012, the Colibrí Estelí-Nicaragua Initiative began offering a youth theater program along with Los Angeles Association (A project that works on the integral development of young people with disabilities.) and Young Life, (youth clubs that work in different neighborhoods to ensure safe spaces for young people and keep them from vices and dangers.)
March 2019, Maria, the Colibri coordinator traveled to Wisconsin and presented the opportunity to help improve the building and bring greater security to our students.
November 2019 Construction on the surrounding fence begins. We are grateful to Project Hope and their gracious participation by providing the workforce of 12 men from Furia Santa - this was a significant contribution to the success of the project. Also grateful to the Partner City Stevens Point in fundraising for the purchase of materials, in addition to Maria, Rosa, Karen, Amelia, Mirna, Mr. John Jackson and many others who have been super helpful in various ways.
"This has come to bring greater and better coordination between local projects because this week we will attend all these people with all the love and gratitude they deserve ... These images are a sign of great teamwork. Thanks to each person who is making it possible!:" - Maria
