Wings Over Nicaragua Mission
Tronquera, Nicaragua
Our Cessna 172 for medical evacuation
_____________________________________________________________
Nicaragua, Central America
According
to CIA Factbook, Nicaragua
is the 2nd poorest country in the Western
Hemisphere. Most of the
wealth of the country, the tourism, and the
Pan-American Highway ,
are all on the Western half of the country. This is where the majority
of the population lives, with over 25% being in the capital city of
Managua . Most of the religious,
medical, and humanitarian aid efforts in
Nicaragua occur in the
more populated and easier to reach Western side.
We
live and work on the other side of the country, where the indigenous
Indians of the area are mostly subsistence farmers. This side
of the country is not so heavily populated. Most reports put the
Miskito Indians living in both
Nicaragua and
Honduras around
100,000, the only place in the world they call home.
We fly a
4-seat Cessna 172 airplane for emergency medical evacuation supply
and transport to the far reaches of the Rio Coco region, which is the North
border of Nicaragua. The airplane was donated by an organization called Wings of Hope in St. Louis, MO. Wings of Hope also
helps with maintenance and the continued operation of the airplane in
Nicaragua. They operate in 42 countries, and we are proud to be able to
help them here in Nicaragua. You can view their web site at www.wings-of-hope.org
