Nuestros Pequeños Hermanos
BY KELVIN MARSHALL

Every Christmas, a group of Ex-Pats from San Juan del Sur visits “Casa Asis” the NPH Orphanage at San Jorge, to spend time with the children. NPH stands for Nuestros Pequeños Hermanos or Our Little Brothers (and Sisters.) NPH has several orphanage sites throughout Latin America.

The San Jorge location is right on the shore of Lago de Nicaragua, looking out over the Islas de Ometepe. It is currently home to approximately 40 children ages 7 and younger. The other location on Ometepe is home for the children aged 7 to 18.
