The sun set quickly – more quickly than expected – over the tall palm trees lining the banks of the Rio Coco, leaving the group of Canadians making our way to San Andres, Bosawas, completely in the dark. With the sanctity of the Change for Children Field House still over an hour upriver, the boat driver instead moored our dugout canoe to the riverbank below the community of Siminka. Our arrival was unexpected and unplanned, as was the hospitality with which we were received. The community opened up the church, we strung up our hammocks, and hot water and rice and beans materialized from community members. Though our stay was brief, the community and its residents left a lasting impression.
