On August 29, we carried out a series of activities geared to the well-being and development of children in our Padrino Program. These initiatives aimed to support not only the physical health of the children but also their educational and emotional needs.
As part of our health initiative, deworming doses were administered to children. This preventive measure is essential to ensure their continued growth, health, and ability to perform well in school. We also performed educational talks about the importance of these deworming campaigns.
In addition to health support, motivational talks were delivered to both children and their parents. These sessions were designed to encourage self-confidence, resilience, and the importance of education – while also strengthening the relationship between students and their caregivers.
We also distributed school supplies and school uniforms, ensuring that every child has the tools (books, pens, pencils, erasers, note pads, etc.) and proper attire (shirts, t-shirts, pants, athletic pants, and shoes) needed to participate fully and proudly in school activities.
September brings with it a state holiday. Some girls will be wearing Nicaraguan traditional dance costumes for planned school celebrations this month.
Beyond the scope of medical attention, we emphasize the importance of mental health, recognizing its vital role in a child’s academic and personal development. For this reason, we actively promote mental wellness. And in cases where psychological evaluation or assistance is needed, we coordinate and provide access to appropriate mental health services to address these needs in a timely and respectful manner.
As of now, our Padrino Program supports a total of 83 children, with 71 actively enrolled in schools. We remain dedicated to creating a holistic environment where each child can thrive both physically and emotionally.
Thank you sincerely,
Enmanuel Jarquin
Program Director, The Roberto Clemente Health Clinic
P.S. There are still five children pending to come to get their school supplies and deworming pills. Some of these kids live so far away that it’s complicated to get transportation. To support this Padrino program, please click here.
]]>Dear Friend of our NicaClinic,
In southwestern Nicaragua right now, there’s a child who stands at a crossroads.
This child might be living with a single mother struggling to make ends meet. They might have a learning disability that makes school especially challenging. They might be suffering from a chronic health condition that goes untreated. Or they might be facing all these challenges simultaneously.
With your help, they’ll receive the comprehensive support they need: medical care for health conditions, specialized attention for learning differences, nutritional support, and the stability that comes from knowing someone cares.
Without support, they’ll likely join the 50% of Nicaraguan children who drop out before secondary school.
Your support is urgently needed. We currently have a waitlist of over 10 impoverished families with children who desperately need our support but are waiting for sponsors like you.
Your monthly gift of $25 or $50 creates comprehensive support:
- Health: Regular check-ups, preventive care, management of chronic conditions, deworming treatments, dental hygiene education and supplies
- Specialized Care: For certain cases, we provide special medicines, transportation support to medical appointments in Managua, vitamins, and ophthalmological care
- Education: School uniforms (shirts, pants, shoes), notebooks, textbooks, pencils, and support for learning disabilities
- Higher Education: Support for university students, with 46 students currently enrolled and five graduating in 2024-2025
- Nutrition: Ensuring children have proper nourishment so they can develop properly and focus on learning
- Family Support: Assistance for single parents and interventions in difficult home situations
- Mentorship: Regular meetings with program coordinators who provide guidance and encouragement
- Future Opportunity: A pathway to secondary education and potentially university
Our Program Director, Enmanuel, doesn’t just distribute supplies. He builds relationships with each child, monitors their progress, addresses challenges, and celebrates achievements.
This holistic approach works. We’ve seen it transform lives for over a decade.
Our Spring Goal is to get these children who need sponsors off the waiting list.
Today, I’m asking you directly: Will you become a Padrino or Madrina?
When you sign up, you’ll receive information about your sponsored child within two weeks, including their photo, age, interests, and family situation.
Remember: You’re not just providing school supplies. You’re opening doors to possibilities that would otherwise remain firmly closed.
In a region where hope can be scarce, your sponsorship plants seeds of opportunity that grow into transformed lives and communities.
Thank you for considering this important decision.
With deep appreciation,
Julia C. Guth
Chair, The Roberto Clemente Health Clinic
P.S. If you have any questions about the Padrino program or how your contribution will be used, please send me an email or visit www.nicaclinic.org. I’m happy to provide more information or connect you with Enmanuel directly.
P.P.S. Here’s a photo from long-time Padrino Steven King, visiting his sponsored child at our Clinic.
And here’s a note from Steven about his experience…
In 2012 I had the opportunity to run a conference at Rancho Santana for The Oxford Club, and while there I visited the Clinic and learned more about the Padrino program. I joined once I got back to the U.S. and was the new Padrino for an awesome little boy named Fabio. I was excited to learn about how I could help Fabio and his family. I traveled again to Nicaragua a couple times after that and always visited Fabio. I bought him a bicycle for his birthday, plus helped the family get a new roof after some flooding.
Fabio eventually turned 18 and exited the program.
During the COVID times, my friend Barbara and I spent some time at Rancho Santana. Her little boy was named Yarder. We visited him and his mom in their village, and by chance learned that his mother’s 13-year-old brother was in need.
Kener had suffered a debilitating injury after falling from a tree three years earlier. Doctors were amazed that he lived, however his leg didn’t heal correctly, so he can’t run or play sports.
I immediately asked Emmanuel if we could get him into the program, and I’m a proud Padrino once again!
