Tribute to Fanny Montes, colleague, friend (R.I.P)
“I firmly believe that this organization was born in the heart of God”
Fanny Montes gave her life and her heart to the work of Habitat for Humanity Nicaragua. During 27 years, she worked with Nicaraguan families, convinced that when she did it, she established the kingdom of God here on earth. Without looking for it, she complied with each of the principles of our organization.
“We are the ones who make the kingdom of God on earth, and Habitat gives me the opportunity to establish it every time i get to each of those families. Here i have the opportunity to sow the seed”, Fanny told us in an interview made in september 2019.
Agricultural engineer, specialist in machinery, with a postgraduate degree in Community Development. Fanny started as a National Advisor, at Habitat for Humanity Nicaragua, then became as a manager and branch advisors; in the last 15 years she stood out in their role of community development and financial education.
Fanny was a woman who always radiated peace. With a calm countenance and a kind smile, her co-workers said that she was a “bread made by God”, referring to the quality of human beings.
As a child, she played with being a public relations officer, traveling the world to negotiate and convince people. Life took her in other professional directions, but without a doubt she was one of the best public relations that God could choose, always preaching his word and restoring faith to those who were going through difficult times. Thank you so much Fannycita!
