I arrived in Managua with the second group of students on Saturday night. We stayed in Managua for the night and then traveled to El Sauce on Sunday to meet our host families. My host mother is actually the pen pal I had from Nicaragua in my Spanish 301 class, which was a nice surprise.
Everyone in El sauce is very nice, and willing to help you with anything. My Spanish needs a little work, as I am having a little difficulty understanding people. However, I am trying to practice and everyone is being very patient with my lack of language skills.
Yesterday I traveled to a community called tres puertas, about thirty minutes away on the back of a motorcycle. I observed the literacy class there and met all of the students; I am very excited to be able to help teach them soon. Then today I went to the children’s elementary school and taught four English classes to third and fourth graders. The kids were very cute and willing to learn, and tomorrow I am going to teach fifth and sixth grade kids.
So far my first few days have been great, and I can’t wait to see what comes next!
