The below poem was written by two of our board members, John and Mona Fonseca,
which reflects on their Christmas visit at our NPH Nicaragua home.

To share a few
highlights of our NPH home visit
We were asked to take
3 to 4 minutes of your time
To say it all in this
time allotted
We decided to organize
our thoughts in rhyme.
Last year we planned
on doing something different for Christmas
And visiting an NPH
home just sounded like a treat.
We had no idea what to
expect while we were down there
Except, our godchild
for the first time we would meet.
Elizabeth was there at
the airport to greet us
With her sister and
Mila at her side
We made our
introductions on the drive to the NPH home
With Mila translating
all through the ride.
There were so many
planned activities
During this festive
time of the year
We spent as much time
as we could with Elizabeth
Who seemed to be
always filled with good cheer.
Eating time was really
bonding time
As far as we could
tell.
With each meal we
shared at Elizabeth’s house
We slowly got to know
her close friends as well
We’ll now always
recall the events of last Christmas eve
Where we celebrated
our first outdoor vigil in Spanish
Followed by delicious
food, fun and frolic
Capped off with
fireworks right at the finish.
Wishing everyone
“Feliz Navidad” was quite memorable
At the end of that
festive night
It felt like we were
with family
And our hearts filled
with immense delight
This was our most
relaxed and fun-filled Christmas
All mixed into one.
We loved being part of
the NPH Christmas traditions
And joining in their
fun.
We’ve heard others
share “You got to visit to feel it”
We now truly know what
they meant
Our hearts were filled
with such wonderful feelings
That we’ll be making
this trip our annual event.
