Nathan David
Hello everyone,
Let me start by introducing myself. My name is Nathan David and I am part of the Salud Del Sol field team this summer. I am a student at the University of Dayton and I am majoring in Entrepreneurship and Marketing. So you may be thinking; if I am a business major then why am I participating in a technical immersion? Salud Del Sol and the ETHOS program recruited in the business school this year. Their goal was to bring an alternative perspective on the solar autoclave project and develop additional business strategies for Salud Del Sol. I am extremely excited to have the opportunity to work with Salud Del Sol and travel to Nicaragua.
Currently I am getting ready for my departure. I leave for Nicaragua in 3 days. I can hardly believe that I am leaving so soon. For the past semester I have been preparing for my role in Nicaragua. I have been taking a Spanish class, studying Nicaragua’s economy, researching cultural difference, learning about solar energy and preparing business strategies. Now all that is left to do is pack my bags.
I look forward to sharing my experience with you. I will share my triumphs and tell you of my struggles. I believe that I have an exciting two months ahead of me. I can’t wait to start my experience and grow as a person.
Hasta Luego,
Nathan David

Hi Nathan!
Welcome to Salud del Sol, and the world of blogging
We are so glad you’re part of the field team this summer! I’m confident you are going to have an amazing experience in Nicaragua, and I’m looking forward to hearing all about it.
Good luck packing, and I checked the 10 day weather forecast for Nicaragua… the rainy season has begun so be sure to bring the water proof gear!

I am working out details so that you will be able to send blog via email and that should be available (with instructions) in a week or so. It will let youcreate a email and send it to a special address to be posted under your name automagically.
Good luck in Nica!
