Hello from Nicaragua! The week 1 June 2013 group made it to Nicaragua safely after an interesting ride to the airport in bad storms. We missed the earthquake by only a couple hours! People at our hotel in Managua said they could feel the tremors.
Yesterday we had a good day getting to Matagalpa, going hiking at Selva Negra (a coffee plantation with hiking trails on the edge of the rainforest.) Most people who went hiking saw the howler monkies! We spent quite a bit of time unpacking and sorting supplies and equipment, so we are ready to work today!
This morning we are off to Santa Rita, a community on a coffee plantation up in the mountains. We will be conducting health assessments and vision assessments. This is our first try at vision assessments, so I am anxious to see how those will go!
We have an incredible team of people with different backgrounds, experiences, and talents. This will be an amazing trip!
