NICARAGUA Nicaragua is one of the seven countries in Central America. It is situated between Honduras and Costa Rica. Texas is 5 times bigger than Nicaragua. Nicaragua is a very beautiful country with rainforests, volcanoes and surrounded by beaches. It’s a very common tourist location. Pictures from: http://travel.state.gov/travel/cis_pa_tw/cis/cis_985.html and http://www.explorenicaragua.com/ Information from: http://lacesoutdain.wordpress.com/

Poverty 45% of Nicaraguans live with less than $1 and 80% live on less than $2 a day. As much as 30% of the total population suffers malnourishment. Information and Picture from: http://habitatglobalvillage.ca/tripschedulec235.php?PJID=401 http://infosurhoy.com/cocoon/saii/xhtml/en_GB/features/saii/features/2009/06/29/feature-03

Poverty Nicaragua is the second poorest country in the western hemisphere, behind Haiti. Education is free but many children can’t go because they can’t afford supplies nor uniforms or they stop going to school to work to support their family. In Nicaragua, 20% of students don’t attend elementary school and 60% of students don’t attend high school. In the US, 3% of students 5 to 17 year olds don’t attend school. 32 out of 100 Nicaraguans are illiterate while only 1 in 100 Americans are illiterate. (15 years or older who cannot read nor write) Pictures from: http://lacesoutdain.wordpress.com/ and http://www.casa-alianza.org.uk/northsouth/CasaWeb.nsf/Casa_News/Nicaragua_appeal?OpenDocument Information from: http://habitatglobalvillage.ca/tripschedulec235.php?PJID=401 and https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/nu.html http://www.census.gov/prod/2011pubs/p20-564.pdf
