Este es el blog de Nicaragua Resource Network – North Dakota

North Dakota and NRN
A unique aspect of working with NRN is that groups work with a church each year instead of hit-and-miss missions. North Dakota has been working with Pastor Alfredo at El Convento, just outside of Leon, Nicaragua. A church was built in 2003. In 2004, two houses were built. In 2005, a portion of land was purchased, and a house built upon a corner of it. The goal is to turn this land into a source of work and income for the people who live near it. This will involve assistance and education in agriculture practices, irrigation during the dry season so that year-round work and crops are available, and also some sort of fence structure to keep wandering livestock out of the field.

Este es el blog de Alysse llamado “Nicaragua”

I can´t believe I´m actually here. I don´t even know where to start. My flight and getting through the Nicaragua airport was a breeze. I was picked up by the country coordinator of my program as well as a girl Christine. Christine is the one who I´ll be replacing in Leon, with the family she stayed with and the program Las Tias that I´ll be working with. I feel so much more prepared already, but I´m thinking that the placement will be NOTHING like what I was expecting. Apparently I´ll be teaching english, and because almost all of the kids that come to the center are from the streets, attendance and attention levels are pretty horrible. Aside from that though, she said they´re a great group of kids…I´m hoping that I´ll find some way to keep them entertained enough to come more than twice a week. This girl ended up working with a Habitat for Humanity type group down there so there´s definitely tons of other stuff to get involved with. But I won´t actually be in Leon for another MONTH! I have a week of ¨orientation¨ training here in Jinotepe and then I stay for another three weeks for pure language training. I´ll be anxious to start working, I know, but I already love it here so I´m sure I´ll be fine. The town is great, so busy and colorful. The place that I´m staying is SWEET. It´s a big building, two floors. The second floor is all dorm type living, where we all sleep. The first floor has the kitchen, a few other rooms, the office etc. But there´s this big square garden in the middle…and everything is so open here that there´s no walls separating the garden from the rest of the first floor. The breeze is so nice, plus it just feels cool being able to be outside and inside at the same time.

Y este es el blog llamado “AccessibleNicaragua”

Here at AccessibleNicaragua we have now established inclusive tour packages for people with disabilities in this beautiful yet developing country. When we talk about accessible or inclusive travel, the two terms may mean very different things, we prefer inclusive as if everything is accessible and therefore easy, where’s the challenge?
