Here is the basic itinerary:
March 16 -- Arrive in Nicaragua
There will be some basic orientation and people will be settling into Managua. This is a one night stay before the team heads to Leon the following day. If this trip is like our trip to the DR, the official programming will end around 9 or so. Some of the trip participants may find their way to a bar or night club, if history is any guide.
March 17 -- Head to Leon
In the morning, the whole team will head to Leon and check in to the hotel there. There will be a tour of Leon and introductions to community leaders. Project teams will then meet and plan the work ahead. This was an exciting day on the DR trip because it was the first real glimpse of what things would be like. Plans start to crystalize and trip participants realize just how much there is to do, and how much can be done in just one week. Here are pictures of the hotel in Leon.March 18 - 22 Work in the Community of Trohilo
On Monday, the work begins. Days will be spent in schools, in the clinic or on other community projects. Evenings will include dinners, impromptu talent shows, planning for the next day, and hanging out. Friday afternoon will include a celebration in the community, a trip back to Managua and a farewell dinner.
March 23 -- Return Home
On Saturday, people either head home, or head to the beach for a day of relaxation. This final day was a hard one for us when Tyler and I went to the Domincan Republic. We had done so much and made such good friends.
Here are some pictures to give you an idea of what the community in Leon is like:
