It's been a little over two weeks since we returned from Nicaragua, and I still can't get the children's smiles out of my head. One of the many things I found inspiring was witnessing the sowing school, Centro de Costura, at work. The organization Shantia Smith and I work for here in Jersey City, Rising Tide Capital, embodies this same mission of building communities through entrepreneurship. Take a look at the article written below about the spirit of microenterprise:
Earlier this month, two of our AmeriCorps VISTA members, Shantia Smith and Bryan Franklin, took part in a mission trip with Mustard Seed Communities to Nicaragua (June 9th - 16th). With a group of 20 others, they traveled to an orphanage in Diriamba, where they helped lay the foundation for a chapel, spent time with the local children, and built lasting relationships with fellow missionaries. In this story, Bryan shares a compelling story about his visit to the capital city’s dump where he witnessed the spirit of microenterprise in action.
