Nicaragua's attitude is so different from Costa Rica's. Costa Rica loves its children, reveres them, tons 'o money is spent on education (no army) and they boast a 95% literacy rate. There is almost no child abuse here and family is everything. In Nicaragua, most kids don't go to school. Alcoholism is rampant and domestic violence common. Never has it been more clear to me that education is the key. I'm grateful my children saw this up close and personal. Poverty is not pretty.
