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.

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.
