Day 5: Update


Hello everyone, we had a super busy day today! We began the day by visiting a volcano then headed to a laguna in Masaya, Nicaragua. We also got the chance to purchase AMAZING pottery and souvenirs. We ended the day with a concert with traditional folk music. Unfortunately, we got home late so we will be uploading a full blog post and photo blog tomorrow.

Emaya-Final Reflection

Prompt: If you were to imagine yourself doing some social aid work what would it be? And in comparing these models (JHC and Ometepe) what would you intentionally model from them and why? Reflection: Like other countries the United States has its issues, and some more than others. But being a millennial in the United States I tend to ask myself “what can I do to help?” I often feel as if I am to young to have a voice to be heard. Yet, after the destruction in Parkland Florida when kids my age began to revolt. I realized now is the best time to be a millennial in America. I am growing up in a world seeing things kids shouldn't see on the local news. And if I want to say something now is the time, so that one day when I have kids America might just be better.

Day 10 Photo Blog: Chocolaty Fun

Image
Franz is giving Esther T-Shirts for her and Alvarez and thanking them for their hospitality.  Nathan, Franz, and Mr. Grisbee are fascinated with the trucks being loaded onto the ferry. We arrived safely and happily in Granada. After walking to the top of this cathedral, we are taking in the view.  We are all ready to start making chocolate at the Hotel de Chocolate.  Destiny is stirring the cacao beans while we all cheer her on.  Sarah and the rest of the group are pounding away to make cocoa butter.

After lunch, we headed off for a tour around Managua, stopping first at the Plaza de la Revolución or what can now be considered, ‘old Managua’.

We also saw the tomb of Carlos Fonseca located in the country’s central park. Fonseca was a former commander of the Sandinistas, who fought against the US funded “Contras” in the country’s decades long Contra war. Afterwards, we visited an amusement park that housed miniature replicas of th...
