Gateway's 2015 HANDS Team

It is hard to believe that we have less than a week until we leave for Nicaragua!  We are getting excited and a little bit nervous!

This year we have our largest team yet, with 22 Grade 12 students and 5 adults on the team.

We will be in Nicaragua from March 22 through April 1st.  We will spend time with our partner school, Bautista Libertad, where we will have classes with each other, iteract with each other, build relationships with each other and learn together.  We will also work at a renovation site where we will help to paint a pre-school. And finally, we look forward to learning about the people and the culture of Nicaragua firsthand through personal experiences.

Please pray for safety for our team as we travel and for team unity as we learn and serve together.
