Sunset at the Ranchon on the mountain top in El Sauce, Nicaragua, where the Los
Altos de Ocotal eco-tourism cooperative members welcome visitors to their farms and way of life, which is a step back into “old world” ways… cooking over fires, mashing corn and hand-patting tortillas at meals, oil lamp and growing and harvesting simple crops with a mind to eco-friendly practices.
You can see San Cristobal, the volcano, here too. So beautiful.
I always tell reporters: Show, don’t tell. I could say that Manuel, the young man we provided a small grant to purchase a bicycle taxi so he could rent it out and go to school full time is now teaching English and earned a scholarship to one of the best institutes, and I could say that since completion of the artisan training that we helped fund, the Cerro Colorado basket-makers have sold orders to half a dozen U.S. businesses…
but it’s gonna be so much cooler to provide some photos and video.
August. Nicaragua. El Sauce. Can’t wait.
El Sauce, NicaraguaTomorrow I leave snowy Rochester, N.Y. for Central America. I am going to write and photograph a story about SUNY Geneseo’s service -learning program in the small town. Students develop their own sustainable development projects and implement them alongside villagers and an alumnus. I will be helping to teach English, visiting remote health outposts with nurses, working with new travel guides, laying brick, carrying cement bags and mangling Spanish as I try to communicate well with a host family.I have also collected donations from an ever growing circle of friends, who know about the project now and want to help out. Stay posted! The adventure begins.
