  • Father Bernard Serval discusses his background and his experiences in Nicaragua

    Oct. 16, 1978

    His belief of experiencing something for himself led Father Bernard Serval to live in the 3rd world country of Nicaragua. People there are so poor, they live on the side of the roads, explained Serval. People work long hours and only earn $2.00 a day. Contracting malaria is an issue because people can't afford the $5.00 it costs to buy a net for protection. Serval wants people to be aware all the poverty in Nicaragua but he knows it will never become of importance because the US will never benefit monetarily from that country.
