----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My work in Nicaragua began in the eighties during a period of revolution and war. When I returned to Nicaragua in 1994, the number of street kids in the capital shocked me. During revolutionary times, when USA did all they could to prevent the social experiment to succeed, the majority of Nicaraguans was left in hopeless poverty. But even then, they mannage to maintain a sense of pride and dignity.
In the middle ninetys people seemed poorer than during the revolution, and they no longer carried that sense of dignity. | p40 | p56e7 | p60e1 | p62 | p63 | p79 | p114 |
