Construct Metropolitano School Fifty-seven people built a school and held medical clinics in Managua, Nicaragua. A periodic update of current happenings at Maranatha. Indeed, volunteers from all over North America have been introduced to service through a Maranatha project in a foreign country, but that's only part of the story, according to Carol Moses, director of volunteer services for Maranatha. North American projects provide opportunities for volunteers who don't want to travel a long distance, and at the same time gives a church or school the help they need to complete their project. Volunteers who participate in North American projects receive food, lodging, accident insurance and an unforgettable experience in exchange for about two weeks of hard work.
Projects range from framing a new church to refurbishing an existing school campus or campground.
Volunteers come to these projects with a wide array of experience. Some are skilled at construction while others have never built anything in their life. According to Carol Moses, most anyone can make a significant contribution to a Maranatha project. Recently, a large number of projects have kept volunteers quite busy. In September, over fifty volunteers tackled a long list of urgently needed repairs at Platte Valley Academy in Nebraska.
