When dealing with the local government, the sisters know how to go about it so that there is as little conflict as possible. Sister Rebecca, who is working with the disabled in Matagalpa, Nicaragua, poke to us about how she has been able to create everything she has worked on in Matagalpa. She told us how the government highly respects the Catholic religion, especially in Matagalpa. She told us how she was given the task to help the disabled after the archbishop of Nicaragua asked her to help. With her great skill and with the help of the mothers of the disabled children in the community, Sister Rebecca created a park, an education center, a nutrition center, a recycling center and even a restaurant to help the disabled in the region. She has gotten the support from the local government. The mayor of Matagalpa even helped sponsor the 5K run that Sister Rebecca planned to help raise money for the disabled and their families.  The local government of Matagalpa, Nicaragua has been for the most part supportive in helping further sister Rebecca's work, without support it would have been very difficult for the disabled in Matagalpa to have as many resources as they have now because of sister Rebecca.
