The Dimming of the Day
Today is my last day of work with Nuestros Pequeños Hermanos International. And so my natural instinct is to reflect on these past two years.
When I left the US, I had no real idea what I was in for, and I knew that. Now, I'm pretty sure I know what happened (although I'll know even better with some distance), and I wouldn't change that choice for anything.
I have learned, experienced and seen things I never imagined and it will shape the rest of my life.
Here's some highlights - (there are a few errors and typos which I'm not changing in the interest of an honest representation of what was said originally)
The Opening Act
Arrival in Nicaragua
Learning about the Culture
The Ball Starts Rolling (Because We're Pushing)
The Plot Thickens
Interruption of Service
House Beginnings!
Eruptions
Christmas at Casa Asis!
Construction,
Construction,
And More Construction!
A New Place
Lights
Water
A Change
A New Future
