Friends Project goes to Nicaragua

Thursday, January 1st, 2009

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.
