ICES program activities in July

The ICES program served a total of 179 people during July in the municipalities of Estelí, La Trinidad and San Nicolás. The team gave workshops and training activities serving a total of 144 people as well as psychological care and counseling to a total of 32 people and legal accompaniment to three people. Currently the team consists of Gladys Ruiz, educator, Jaelenne Herrera, social worker and Marisel Olivas, psychologist. They also receive support from the Sones Segovianos art teachers Rafael Tellez and Jubelki Velásquez to develop the program’s educational activities with children using art. In July, in coordination with the Ministry of Health, the program visited the communities of Rodeo Grande, Jícaro, Javelli Arriba, Salmerón and Guingajapa in San Nicolás and, in La Trinidad, the community of Chagüite Blanco and the Special Needs Center in la Trinidad itself. We are very grateful to Lyn Styczinski and Len Greenberg for their continuing advice and guidance to the program helping us to provide the best care possible to the communities we serve.
