Off again I go!
This time I'm headed to Nicaragua for the whole summer. I received this internship a few months ago through a campus and alumni supported scholarship. I'll be headed down with five other great girls from Gettysburg...including Megan of course! We have all been matched up with different NGOs or other organizations throughout the country. I'll be in Ciudad Sandino with a Dominique. When she's working with public health initiatives, I'll be in the Municipality working on sustainable environmental development. Our specific jobs and projects haven't been mapped out perfectly yet, but I should be working with either reforestation, dirty waters management, composting or recycling. I'm very excited to be involved in any of those projects!
As a part of this internship we have to write weekly updates to Gettysburg and other students doing similar projects, but state-side in Gettysburg. It should be interesting to share with each other our struggles, accomplishments and just beautiful moments we encounter. Therefore I'll probably be using some of my entries from there to put in here, so they should be extra reflective and hopefully exciting reads!
I love all your encouraging words last time, keep it up!
