Hi all,
Sorry that I have not written in awhile. I promise I will add more details soon. Since I last wrote we have studied Culture of Peace and received from great lectures in Managua. Then, we went to El Salvador for a 9 day educational excursion. We stayed in San Salvador, visited Suchitoto, and lived in Santa Marta near the Honduran border. This experience was intense, inspiring, heart breaking, and spiritual all at the same time. El Salvador is a place with a violent history and a violent present. Yet, there is so much hope and potential for practices of RESTORATIVE JUSTICE. Perhaps, I will return one day to work in this area in El Salvador.
After we returned from El Salvador, Molly, Amber and I went to San Juan del Sur with Molly's parents. It was a much needed vacation (or fall break even). We stayed in a gorgeous house on the hill of San Juan del Sur that overlooked the beach as we sat in the infinity pool. It was hard returning to Managua but I felt rested and ready for the final days before ISP starts Novemeber 10th! For those of you who do not know, ISP stands for independent study project which is part of the SIT program format. Students complete project during the final month of the semester. (More on my project later...stay tuned!)
Finally, in one hour, I leave for Ometepe for an island adventure this weekend. I love exploring Nicaragua and it sure keeps me busy!
