1989: LHS Graduate Worked in Nicarauga"Jamos huba tanta patria en un corazon, Nicaragua, una revolucion por la paz". Translated, they mean "Never has there been so much patriotism in one heart, Nicaragua, a revolution for peace". Nicaurauga is a country struggling for peace and on July 19th, they celebrated the tenth anniversary of their revolution. While Rachel Belt and others in the same workcamp were down there, they didn't feel uptight or uncomfortable about being in a war zone. The Nicaraguans were very protective of their visitors and loving, not full of hatred and violence as they are portrayed. The medical and construction group consisted of
Their theme was, "SOWING SEEDS OF PEACE". They built a latrine for the citizens of Mulukuku and helped with the construction of a day care center. The optometrist saw 240 people and prescribed glasses. They left the 760 remaining glasses for the town's doctor to use and distribute. The group saw no actual action of war, but they saw a lot of effects the war had on the land and the people. Crosses and skeletons of cars lined the roads where people had been ambushed and killed. There was a fright in the peoples' eyes. Some of their friends or family had been killed before their eyes. Yet, there was a determination to win the war against the United States. They were so poor, yet so eager to make them feel at home. The citizens of Mulukuku gladly gave their homes and food to them. They even gave them a latrine that was for their use only. The people looked past the fact that the US government was causing their suffering. Some of the most beautiful land in the world can be found in Nicaragua. The people are so full of love for their fellow man and country. The citizens of the United States just can't see the beauty of this war-torn country because their government won't let them see it. The twelve people who shared in this experience would gladly do it all again. That land is truly a land that can say "I JAMAS HUBO TANTA PATRIA EN UN CORAZON!" Rachel Belt is a 1988 Lathrop High School graduate and is now a Freshman at Warrensburg State College. She is the daughter of Alison Belt of Lathrop. She accompanied her father, Rev. David Belt to Nicaragua. He is a former minister of the Lathrop Methodist Church.
