Well it looks like our work with our partner, Aso Fenix, will be starting and we will be pretty busy. We are in charge of the internship program for foreigners, helping to lead-interprete for the rural tourism groups and helping out with the renewable energy projects. We will be working in a village to put in a water pump powered by solar panels, installing solar panels in another village to provide electricity and installing micro hydroelectric plants in two villages to provide electricity. Also, our partner continues to work in the villages for up to 10 years where projects have been completed to help with community development. Therefore, we will be in charge of doing all workshops relating to health, nutrition, hygeine, reforestation, water cycle and agriculture. It will be a great experience because we will get to use our expertise, but also have the opportunity to learn new things.
Since we will be doing projects all over the department of Boaco we will not be in one place for very long. For this reason, we actually have three places we call home. We still have the MCC house in Bramadero (the village we stayed at for the first 6 months), a house in San Jose de los Remates (we will be based out of the town to do projects in the surrounding area) and we have a room at the MCC office in Managua (when we are working out of the Aso Fenix office). At first it was hard to be moving so much, but we both realized this is just the way our life will be here and we have adjusted to this life style. Besides it gives us the opportunity to see more of Nicaragua.
Enjoy the pics on our photo website of each of our places we call home.
