PHILOSOPHY
"We practice being good neighbors (vecinos). Vecinos who listen well, build infrastructure for change, and pick up a shovel when the time comes. Vecinos who invest our lives in Nicaraguan life.
Sister Lynne Lieux over 13 years took students and faculty from the Rosary, Grand Coteau, Houston to work with the people of the country on building water systems so that villages could have piped in water, on smokeless ovens, on gathering animal poop and setting up systems for capturing methane gas to help with cleaner energy. Lynne had had Sr Mary Catherine (Mickey) McKay in the noviecship and when Mickey went to work in Nicaragua Lynne decided she wanted to get involved, even if it was only with summer mission trips.
