| Sr. Christina's
Compound
She has a school that educates about 300 kids from primary to high school. Sewing is taught to the older girls and women in the area. She obtained a grant from the Spanish embassy for computers and typewriters with a Spanish keyboard. Every other weekend she holds a training or retreat for young adults. Ten kilometers away she has another school for children in the mountains.
Also in the same building are a dispensary and a clinic with a small chapel and a recovery room. Two doctors some everyday to see anyone needing attention. CLICK HERE for information on the clinic. All this has been possible due to the generosity of the people in Western New York.

Sr.
Christina was a pastoral
minister
and worked with the priests in Jinotepe before moving to her present location.
She started her own order called the Sisters of the Holy Spirit (Espirtu
Santo) with one tile roofed building, which was the convent. Since then, it has
grown into a complex of six buildings including a coup of raising pigs, which
she sells for income, chicken (for eggs and meat), sheep to give to
the poor, as well as coffee and flowers
which are sold to florists at Espiritu
Santo.
In the town, she runs a soup
kitchen which
provides one hot meal for 55 elderly who would not otherwise be
fed. For more information on the Elderly Project,
