So I have my site assignment. The department of Matagalpa will be my home for the next 2 years. Totally excited. I´ll be working with secondary schools training teachers in a new business curriculum and working on a culture exchange program with a german school and the rest of my time will be spent writing business plans for local NGOs (and hanging in the local cafe that actually has wifi!!!).
I love the site and all of the people I´ll be working with. Russ if you can manage the weekend trip from Argentina I highly suggest hitting up Selva Negra - it´s a hotel/coffee plantation type place where they have all natural everything and tons of hiking trails. Haven´t been there yet but am definitely planning on it - supposed to be BEautiful. It´s just outside of Matagalpa about 2 - 3 hours on bus from Managua. Keep me posted on your itinerary.
These next few weeks are going to be insanely busy and I´ll be officially swearing in as a volunteer on July 31st - can´t wait!! More updates to come and I´ll get some pictures up when I move into site.
Ciao!!
