Nicaragua 2017 Brigade
Our week in Nicaragua was a chance to be fully immersed into Nicaraguan culture, and an opportunity to share some of America with the Nicaraguan people. We twisted some of our childhood favorites into educational opportunities for the young kids, and put a smile on everyones faces by giving them oral hygiene products. Our Charla sessions were also a good chance to educate the parents on small things that we take for granted that will greatly improve their livelihood. |
When we embarked on our brigade, we were a giant group of strangers, but came home a giant group of friends. It was an incredible experience to share amongst people who wanted to learn about a new culture and give their much-needed vacation time to a cause bigger than themselves. We spent three days in a clinic, where we were able to help over 500 people and provide some basic healthcare, like dental care, doctor consults, gynecology, and access to a pharmacy and important medicines. |
