Today was an amazing day. It started bright and early, 7:15 am, with a wonderful home made breakfast. We have to admit that it will be hard to go back to Bucknell Bison food, after eating all this amazing Nicaraguan food. After breakfast we were graced with the presence of Mark Lester, Mr. I-Know-A-Lot-About-Nicaragua, and he gave a wonderful descriptive explanation of the economics, politics, and social reform of Nicaragua. This was a great segway into understanding what we are helping to rebuild, specifically in the clinic. We really feel that it fired up our passion to work and really made everything we are doing real. Although we could have listen to him all day, we had work to do, so off the clinic we went.
The clinic day was full labor, filing, helping with the pharmacy, and digging a hole. Yes, a hole, a hole in which will become a wall, that will become a building, that they will be able to store more equipment for the people who are in need. Though, we might not be able to see the final project, we know that we helped lay the foundation for something much greater. In between there was lunch and again we say it will be hard to leave this amazing food.
These days become more and more rewarding. We speak, or try to speak, to the native people, our fellow brigidistas and staff at JHC and learn more of the country we are living in. We could not express enough, our gratitude to those who make all of this possible. These are the types of trips that change peoples lives, and for us, even though its has only been three days, has begun to shape us in ways we have yet to understand.
Well off we go to sleep. We have a lot of work to do tomorrow!
Buenas Noches!
