| Introduction | I am currently living in Chinandega, Nicaragua working for an organization called Amigos for Christ. While I am here, I will be focusing on a couple different projects in the surrounding villages. The first is a health education/community outreach program. I will be working with doctors, health professionals, and other volunteers to increase community awareness of healthy practices. I also will be working as the field coordinator for a program called Bead Amigas. The program supplies women with the supplies to make beads and jewelry out of recycled paper. The jewelry is then sold in the United States and the money is sent back to the women and put into community development programs. |
