On the San Ramón end...
The municipality of San Ramón, located 90 miles north east of Managua in the Matagalpa region, is a mountainous area (view map). Of the 30,000 inhabitants, 26,000 live in remote hamlets. The others live in the town which includes a health clinic, library, school, and municipal offices. The people live largely by cultivating cash crops such as coffee, corn, and beans; by raising cattle; and by practicing subsistence agriculture. Unemployment and malnutrition are widespread. Only 20% of school-aged children attend school.
