“OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: A clinic of AMOS Health and Hope: El Samaritano Clinic has provided health care to the poor in Nejapa, a community on the outskirts of Managua, for many years. In 2019 Austin Samaritans worked with AMOS Health & Hope, managers of the healthcare clinic, to equip and help fund the operation of a dental care facility at the clinic. High quality, affordable, and compassionate dental care is provided. For many families in Nejapa, the cost of private procedures is out of reach. Those who cannot afford regular checkups and cleaning only seek dental care when they require fillings or extractions. To promote patient awareness of the dental services and to encourage routine check-ups the clinic offered free dental check-ups during October through December 2021 to patients that came in for medical consultations. The clinic has provided dental procedures to over 900 patients since it opened in 2019. In 2021 the clinic provided 119 dental fillings, 112 dental extractions, and 49 dental cleanings. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 5: An educational center of Open Hearts: Club Cristiano La Esperanza serves children from the impoverished Barrio Villa Guadalupe by providing educational opportunities to over 300 students. In addition to providing pre-kindergarten and kindergarten classes, it has been adding one elementary grade each year since 2017. In spite of the challenges of the pandemic, the club added a 5th grade class in 2021. Older youth receive scholarships to attend high school and they participate in a youth group. Club Esperanza provides the students with two meals each school day. It has a lacrosse team that receives support from Lacrosse the Nations. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 6: A mission of Forward Edge International: Villa Esperanza is a residency program for vulnerable, at-risk girls from impoverished communities. The girls receive educational support, health care, Bible study, and training in vocational and life skills. During 2021 the mission remained dedicated to those it serves and found ways to get them food, encouragement, help and hope despite losing several members of the Villa Esperanza family. Since its establishment in 2008, over 75 girls have participated in the program, transitioning into independent young women with an education that enables them to provide a secure living and with life skills to lead a productive life. In 2018 Villa Esperanza began offering a program for boys. A quarterly weekend discipleship camp and monthly one-day retreats provide vocational training and recreational activities.”
