We returned to Granada once again. On our way, we found a 13 year old boy high on glue that approached us begging for money. We interviewed him and asked him why he was getting high on this glue and why he was living on the streets. His response was compelling. He responded that his parents were also drug addicts and that he had no one to care for him. We asked him how it was that he started to use this drug and he said that older people would give him the drug until he became so addicted to it that he can’t live with out it. The sad thing of it all is that it is very common to see children living on the streets high on glue with no future and no hope. These are kids whose parents force them to work the streets steeling, panhandling or doing physical labor work to provide money for their homes. Other children are sold for money or are abandoned by their drug addict parents.Jordan International Aid (JIA) Board of Directors held an emergency conference call today, November 18, 2008, at 3:30 p.m. to discuss the Nicaragua Christmas Relief Project.
