A Visit from the Deacs

Hello! We are two new interns at Nica HOPE from Wake Forest University. We are just now finishing up our three weeks in Nicaragua as part of a university service learning program. We have been taking classes in sustainable development as well as Central American society. It's been an amazing experience and we would like to thank Deanna and everyone at Nica HOPE for making our time here so enjoyable and educational. We've experienced the many ways in which Nica HOPE is involved in helping the community of La Chureca; from helping out at the Acahualinca elementary school's feeding program to delivering food on the behalf of Fabretto to La Esperanza inside of La Chureca to sitting in on Nica HOPE's computer classes and jewelry making program. We feel very fortunate to be working with such an inspirational organization.

In addition to helping out where needed, we have been tackling two different projects, a sponsorship program and the opening of the cyber cafe. More on this soon.
¡Gracias por todo Nica HOPE!
-David and Liz
