Great Experience

I loved the community we worked in while doing this project. The community was very welcoming and a great learning experience. I felt completely safe all of the time and the children in the community were the sweetest. During my time in Nicaragua, our goal was to help redirect storm water. So part of our trip involved digging very deep holes for the storm water to drain into since there is no irrigation system. The work was very Manuel and difficult but the community really appreciated our work and kept saying how much of a difference we were making. I loved the place we stayed, it was very safe, had air conditioning, and the food was excellent. Katie was our program leader and she was excellent! There was a few times we were waiting on supplies to finish our volunteer work but that is not her fault. She was very helpful in translating for us and always made sure we had everything we needed. The program also provided a cultural day which was very interesting and we got to see many different parts of Nicaragua. I am looking forward to possibly going back in the future.
