Superemos is working with the community leaders of the Barrio Sor. Maria Romero in Matagalpa (Sister Maria Romero was a nun renowned for her community work especially with poor children). We originally made contact with the community leaders in this barrio via Vilma Reyes of the Casa de la Mujer in Matagalpa who coordinates health and education work with the Oasis de Esperanza school in the barrio. Superemos health programme coordinator Gladys Ruiz Gonzalez has worked out a programme with Leonardo Luques, Oasis de Esperanza coordinator.
