Home Sweet Home

We made it home safe and sound! The group had some amazing insights this trip and we are grateful for the experience. Traveling to Nicaragua was eye opening. The kids were amazed at how different life was down there and the conditions people live in. Our group leader, Jeff, commented on how most of the world lives in developing countries and similar conditions in Nicaragua and this was a resounding statement within the group. We take clean water for granted, functioning plumbing and sewer systems, functioning power systems (the power went off numerous times when we were down there) and more. This trip allowed us to experience a whole different culture and society. Our group is grateful for the experience and feeling very fortunate indeed!

Thanks for viewing and reading about our experience!! Ask any of the students or Ms Keenan for more information about the trip!
