What connects a high school in Berkeley, California, with communities in Nicaragua?

Four young women. And the belief that caring about the world can move us to do something about it. 💚

This summer, four Berkeley High School students traveled to Nicaragua for an internship with FNE. They returned with experiences to share, questions to ask, and a deeper understanding of how people can make a difference.

This week, Michael visited their school to talk with students about FNE’s work, the communities we work alongside, and something bigger than any one project: the importance of paying attention, caring about others, and finding ways to help.

Because sometimes, a connection begins with a single experience. It grows when we share it. And it reaches further when others decide to get involved. 🌟

When the rain finally comes, having somewhere to collect it matters. 💧

In Agua Fría, Alfredo and his family are ready. Their new water tank is finished just in time for the rains to begin.

It’s one project, for one family, but it’s part of something bigger: continuing the work of longstanding local partners in Telica and supporting practical solutions that make daily life for local families a little easier.

Sometimes, meaningful change starts with something as simple as being ready for the rain. 🌧️

🌟 Some stories are measured in miles. Others in years. Ours has a few numbers attached to it lately:
30 years. 13,000 feet. 26 hours. 3 days. 4 interns. 1 new home.
There’s a story behind every one of them. And they’re all coming together in our next FNE newsletter. Coming to your inbox soon! 💚

🏡💚 Construction has officially begun on Cristian’s new home!

This is one of my personal favorite FNE International programs, and our Berkeley volunteers got to spend the day helping kick off the build.

This is also one of those moments where our programs come full circle. Cristian has been part of our Salud Para Todos Los Niños (SPTLN) program for the past five years, and now we have the privilege of walking alongside his family as they begin this next chapter.

Swipe to the last photo to see Cristian and his family’s home before construction began. We’ll be back with an update once the house is finished… though if you’ve ever worked on a construction project, you know “a few weeks” can mean a few different things. 😉 It’ll be worth the wait!

What makes this program so special is that these homes are built to last. They’re designed to give families a safe, secure place to call home while also leaving room for the future.

Every home is meant to be a starting point. Families can make it their own, decorate it, and as life changes or their family grows, they can come back to FNE International to build an addition and continue growing alongside their home.

We can’t wait to share the finished project with you. Stay tuned! 🏠✨

This is Christan’s home❤️

Cristian’s current home is made from a mix of different materials. Two of the rooms are enclosed with plastic sheeting and are home to two beds shared by the family.

None of these materials are built to withstand Nicaragua’s rainy season.

With gaps in the walls and a home built from flimsy materials, the rainy season is one of the hardest times of year for families like Cristian’s.

And that, along with all the other stability a home provides, is what we’re hoping to give Cristian, his mom, his brother, his sister-in-law, and their six-month-old nephew.

Meet Hazel, Violet, Tessa, and Maia! 🇳🇮⚽️

These four friends and Berkeley High students are spending part of their summer volunteering with FNE International in Chacraseca, Nicaragua.

They’ve already jumped right in! So far, they’ve worked at Finca Girasol, spent time at the school and in the library, celebrated Max’s second birthday, led a soccer camp for local kids, joined us for our July Salud Para Todos Los Niños (SPTLN) medical brigade, shared everyday life with their host families, made new friends, and laughed a whole lot along the way. 💛

We’re so happy to have Hazel, Violet, Tessa, and Maia with us this summer and can’t wait to share more from their time in Chacraseca! 🇳🇮

At Finca Girasol, learning doesn’t just happen in a classroom.
Children are discovering where food comes from by collecting seeds, preparing soil, planting seedlings, and caring for what they grow. Along the way, they’re learning science, responsibility, patience, and the value of caring for the environment.
Because when you teach a child to grow something, you’re helping grow their future. 🌱 💚

In moments like these, generosity can travel farther than we ever could. Every contribution (large or small) helps families begin the long road to recovery. 🇻🇪💚

The world’s best players are competing on soccer’s biggest stage. ⚽️
Meanwhile, in places like Tipón or Huacahuasi, at 13,000 feet above sea level, future stars are playing with a built-in altitude advantage. 😅
Talent is everywhere. Opportunity should be too.
Every child deserves the chance to develop their gifts: whether that leads to a World Cup stadium or simply a brighter future 🌟
