Well, things are finally starting to settle down here in Nicaragua.  Since I arrived at the end of January, I have been running around the city meeting with all the public schools and all our host families, as well as compiling a curriculum for my new English students.Seguir Leyendo

Volunteering? Do it the Nica way!

We’re about three months in now and everything is running smoothly.  I give class Tuesday through Friday and have my one day of preparation for the week on Monday with weekends free (although I always seem to be running some sort of errand on those days).  Seguir Leyendo

A wonderful month in Diriamba!

Living and volunteering in Diriamba was an incredible and unique experience. I learnt so much in just one month from the places I went, things I did and, more than anything, the people I met.

I love teaching English!

I’ve been teaching English in Diriamba for almost 6 weeks.  I teach two fifth grades and two six grades in Rene Schick and I teach one fifth and one sixth grade in La Palmera.  Teaching here is a challenging and rewarding experience.  I learn new teaching techniques every day.Seguir Leyendo
