Background
The work carried out in Carita Feliz is a drop in the ocean in the search for a solution to poverty in Nicaragua. This section gives perspective to the activities of the center. For more information on Carita Feliz, visit the About section.

Nicaragua is undoubtedly a poor country in economic terms. However it is rich in culture and tradition. What's more, cities such as Granada, are precious yet very rare. It is a city that remains undiscovered by the worlds travellers (although it is the most popular travel destination in Nicaragua).

The staff at Carita Feliz gather information on the 1,500 children each three months so that we can improve the relevance of the service to them and find other ways to help them, such as the sponsored classes for children who cannot afford the monthly fee required to attend state school. Our survey results are posted here.

There is a short cultural guide to body language used in Nicaragua, based Andreas Kolind's observations during his year in Nicaragua. This has been included purely for those who are curious and has no academic grounding.

Peder and Andreas Kolind have created strong links between Denmark and Carita Feliz. Many Danish visitors to Granada hear about the project first in Denmark and visit us at the center. There is a short description of these links here.
