The group arrived in Nicaragua on the evening of May 18. We had been delayed awhile in Atlanta because of weather, but people found ways to amuse themselves.
The next day after an orientation, we were ready to go learn about Nicaragua history and political situation.
We visited the offices of a group that builds houses for people in very poor communities and toured the city.
The next day, we left for the city of Leon, where we met with students and faculty of the National Autonomous University of Nicaragua–Leon and stayed with host families. We have already learned a lot and had some amazing experiences, which the students will post about soon. In the meantime, we are back in Managua for the next five days. Tomorrow we have a work day with the house-building group to learn from the group’s volunteers and families.
Buenas noches a todos! (Good night everyone!)
Theresa Early, Academic and Resident Director
