Main | The day I leave for Nicaragua! »

Pre-trip

IMG_1167.jpg
We're leaving campus in three hours to begin our trip down to Nicaragua. I am almost completely packed and am very anxious about making sure that everything is ready to go. This will be my second time traveling to Nicaragua with the Bucknell Brigade. I went down two years ago as a sophomore and I am very excited to be going back. I think I am most excited to see how much it has changed down there.

Last time I went, the women's health clinic was still being built and from what I have heard since it is complete and functional. We're supposed to be painting the inside during this trip so I can only imagine how different it is going to look! I am also excited to see if any of the children that come to visit us are the same ones I met last time I was there. It will be interesting to see how they've grown and how different they look after two years! We will also be traveling to El Porvenir, the coffee cooperative where the Bucknell Brigade gets its fundraising coffee. El Porvenir is on the top of a mountain and is the most scenic and relaxing place I have ever been. The view is absolutely amazing. I am very excited to go back there and see how different, or similar, the place still is. But for now I'd better finish getting ready to leave!!
