Nohemi, as is the name she goes by, is our “flaca”, which is spanish for “skinny girl”.  Well, she may be skinny, but she absolutely does not lack in personality or energy.  Nohemi is a bright 15 year old girl who does really well in her studies when she applies herself, however, as with many of our kids she struggles with laziness and can be easily distracted. Nohemi also loves personal attention, never shying away from asking difficult questions and striking up a conversation.  Nohemi is currently in her 4th year of high school and has begun physics and chemistry, you can imagine how much she is enjoying that :)

Nohemi is cared for by her mother who is rarely ever around, working long hours to make ends meet as best she can with her $60/month salary.  Nohemi’s father died when she was only 2 years old, so she and her 5 brothers and sisters have been raised in a single parent home.

We love Nohemi’s dynamic personality; she really brings an exciting flavor to the mix at the Project.  Nohemi is one of the few students whose desired future profession, a reporter/journalist, we could easily see as attainable with some dedication and encouragement.  Yet what an even more glorious day it would be to see this young girl with so much going for her cast all her being on the One who planned her days before she was but a breath.  Please join us in praying for Nohemi.

    i got to meet Nohemi while i was in nicaragua. we took her and the rest of the isaiah ministry family to managua’s zoo. she came right up to me and grabbed my hand and lead me through the zoo. she is very outgoing and sweet. even tho i could not speak her language, i felt like i could understand her… i know thats wierd but its true. i love nohemi and i am praying for her daily.
