Nicaragua,
Africa
 In
October of 1998 Hurricane Mitch blew through the Caribbean
area doing extensive damage in several countries and
causing considerable loss of life. The country of Nicaragua
was also affected. In the northwest corner of Nicaragua
not far from the Pacific Ocean is the town of Chinandega.
Torrential
rains during the storm caused great mud slides to course
down a volcanic mountain nearby, burying several villages
and causing approximately 1,000 deaths.
The
injured were transferred to a hospital in the town.
After a few weeks the hospital had around 60 orphans
under their care. They turned to the government for
assistance and were referred to Felix Almendarez, a
Christian businessman in town for help. He called ICC
which raised funds to help care for the orphan children.
He then found funds to build a facility to house children.
ICC continues to send funds on a monthly basis in order
to support these children.
