Nicaragua Donation List

Below is a list of ideas of things that can be donated to take down to Nicaragua this summer. The items donated can be new or used, however if they are used, please make sure that they are still useful and in good condition! We want to honor these people with the things we give them, instead of making them feel like they are getting our trash.
If you have other ideas for things to donate, that is great! Please just check with the student ministry staff to see if that item would be useful to the people in Nicaragua!
