Activities
Our primary activity will be to grow our relationship with our global neighbors - learning about their culture; experiencing daily life with them; and hearing their struggles, hopes, and dreams. We will also engage with them in working to realize some of their dreams, and support a specific project in the community (yet to be determined). Some possibilities for other activities: participate in a story exchange with local women, cooking together, repair local schools, visit micro-enterprises, art projects with children, computer classes for youth and much more! And, of course, there will be time for a bit of sightseeing!
Participants should be in good health, able to walk at least ¼ mile, and must be pre-approved by the trip organizer.
Accommodations
We will spend the nights in a modest hotels and at the Casa de Paz retreat house in Chacraseca. Participants will also have the opportunity to spend on night with a family. We will eat “tipico” Nicaraguan food (mostly rice and beans) prepared by the community.
Travelers will be limited to one carry-on suitcase per person for the trip — it’s a chance to see what we can do without!
Costs
The cost is $825 per person plus airfare to Managua, Nicaragua. This covers most lodging, meals, in-country transportation, interpreter expenses, and trip coordination and leadership. Individuals will be responsible for a few meals and some lodging costs in Nicaragua; please communicate with trip organizer for more information about these costs. The only other personal costs will be meals en route to and from Nicaragua, souvenirs, and any unscheduled activities/meals the team decides to add. If a minimum number of participants is not reached, the cost person may increase. We have limited space for this adventure.
Travel Arrangements
Participants book their own flights, either individually or as a group. Participants must arrive in Managua by 3pm on the first day of the trip.
