The Day to Day

Waking up with the sun, you know everyday will be an exhilarating experience. Each day gives you an opportunity to engage intimately with the community you live in and with the communities you work with.

By using the public transportation to get to schools, eating locally, and walking everywhere (literally), you get a glimpse into what the locals experience daily. Then while working with the rural school children you get a chance to influence the countries youth and address some of the inequalities present in world. In the evening, you can relax at your volunteer home or at any of the other volunteer houses since by the end of your second night, you will have made many, many friends within La Esperanza Granada. You also have the option of staying with a local family (screened by LEG). I highly recommend this option, as it gives you insight into the culture, the daily struggles of a typical Nicaragua, and is simply a form of solidarity.
