Amigos for Christ in it 'for the long haul' in Nicaragua
Mission group digs wells to bring clean water to rural communities
0607AMIGOS-nic-14-working
University of North Georgia students dig trenches for water pipes, which will transport clean water to rural Nicaraguan communities. In the rural areas, 60 percent of the water supply is contaminated. Amigos for Christ coordinates hundreds of service workers to provide clean drinking water, education, health care, food and other essentials.
Above the front door a small office on a backstreet in Buford simply says “Amigos for Christ.” The few offices and a warehouse does not stand out in any way. Few would guess this nondescript place is the headquarters of an organization that coordinates hundreds of missionaries and service workers with more than 100 employees in Nicaragua to provide clean drinking water, education, health care, food and other essentials to some of the most impoverished people in the Americas.
