Manna Project International (International Cornerstone Opportunity)

Manna Project International is a non-profit organization that connects college students and recent graduates with opportunities to apply their education and interest in service work in developing countries. Our members believe that the elements of progress are already within reach for these communities, and self-sufficiency is only a matter of access to basic resources and ideas. Our project aims to increase the well being of the people we work with through a holistic approach to community development which consists of initiatives in education, sports, health care, art, and community events. In order to employ the individual passions and talents of MPI participants, our group works with a variety of international institutions, NGOs, independent volunteers, missionaries, and local organizations.

Manna Project is currently accepting applications for next year's team. This group will spend the year working in the city and in rural areas near Managua, Nicaragua; they will continue existing projects and develop new programs. Existing projects include medical programs, art classes, literacy classes, English classes, a preschool, a feeding program, girls and boys sports teams, and the construction of a community center.

Additional information is available at our website (www.mannaproject.org), including the MPI handbook which further explains the organization's programs and goals. Application materials are also available online.
