Si a la Vida!

Seattle, Washington

Cause Description:
In February,1994, Jonathan Roise, a Seattle Quaker, with Nicaraguan activist, Mercedes Guido, began offering first-aid care and friendship to glue-sniffing street-kids in the old Montenegro Market in Managua, Nicaragua. Since then, thanks to the support of Managua volunteers and many individuals and groups outside Nicaragua, the project has grown rapidly and has increased. Through its residence and day center, Casa Nuevo Amanecer, (New Sunrise House) with its program of study, work, and recreational activities, Sí a la Vida has been able to rescue scores of youngsters from glue addiction and the dangers and hopelessness of life on the streets. Many of these young boys now attend school for the first time, and a good number are being reunited with their own families.
