El Limonal is the trash-dump community that started it all for this organization called SuNica. And all they want for Christmas is to be able to build this Community Center for a special group of kids in El Limonal!

Our Piece of the SuNica Christmas List

We're the Oak City Church Youth Group and we're fundraising for a set of bleachers.

Bleachers! The bleachers at a community center may seem like an arbitrary place to sit while you wait for your kid's game to finish, but they are so much more than that! The bleachers are the place where your support as parent happens. And even though we teenagers act like we don't care, it is a BIG DEAL that our parents show up to watch us do our things. 

We hope you'll help us to make this happen for these kids in El Limonal and donate to The List Campaign today!

The Backstory:

If you’ve found your way to the bottom of this page; then surely you’re wondering, why should I help build this community center? Fair question.

SuNica is an organization dedicated to making Disciples of Jesus through clean water, education, and mentorship. It’s founders have been working in Nicaragua for ten years and in this community for seven. They are a registered 501(c)(3) non profit in the USA and have NGO status in Nicaragua. They are led by their founders Alan Wilser and Josh & Betty Pease who serve on a full-time basis along with 13 other staff (mostly Nicaraguans). The organization is guided by a stateside Board of Directors that you can read about in the About Us page of their website.

This facility will give SuNica the space they need to anchor their work into this community and therefore into the lives of these precious kids. They are intentionally serving the spiritual and physical well-being of this community. The center will be a place where SuNica’s local staff and mentors can be with these kids in a safe environment every week day afternoon. It’s a place where they can mandate study hall hours in exchange for futsal hours. :0) It’s a place where we can host a professional counselor, who can be available to talk through some of the difficult things that our kids are dealing with, including domestic and sexual violence.

Here’s a short list of some of the beautiful things that will and could happen in this community center:

• Young Life’s weekly club in El Limonal
• SuNica’s Soccer League
• SuNica’s weekly programming including Bible Study sessions
• School plays (check out the stage)
• Perhaps even a church (God willing)
• Vocational Training:

The construction of this facility will be a complete game-changer for SuNica’s work in El Limonal. We hope you’ll support this piece of The List Campaign TODAY.
