I arrived in Sabana Grande, Nicaragua on May 22 and will be living here for the next three months within a wonderful community. The experience has been incredible so far. My host María Ant
onia Centeno Velazque and her family have been so welcoming, and the kids are incredibly enthusiastic to learn from us and to teach us the real way to play backyard futbol (soccer). While lanugage has been a cause for confusion, everyone in the community exercises extreme patience and is willing to correct mistakes.
Within the community is the quickly growing el Centro Solar, which is the focal point of the renewable energy research projects. There is much momentum in the areas of solar cookers, solar panel installation and other research projects. Next week, I will be able to spend all day at el Centro Solar with language classes every morning from 8a to 10a and learning from the staff in the afternoon.
Please keep in touch this summer. I look forward to hearing from you!
Hasta luego!
- Anna
