So a week from today, all of the interns and I head to Nicaragua to help a lending hand to a YoungLife camp down there. We're all pretty excited to get to see what YoungLife, and just life in general, looks like in another country outside of the U.S.
As a form of preparation we have decided to grow mustaches. Well I've been growing out my beard since Christmas with the plans of shaving all of it off but a mustache, right before we leave for our trip. It's been a rather funny bonding experience amongst all the guys. Either way, it should be a hoot!
Anyways, back to Nicaragua. So we leave on Tuesday and we'll be heading down to help out at the camp. The camp, La Finca, is in Jinotega, Nicaragua. This area is a great place for growing coffee, and supposedly selling coffee is a major fundraiser for La Finca. Hopefully I'll be able to bring some home with me. The other great part about it is, every bag purchased sends a Nicaraguan youth to camp for one day.
So check out the links above (La Finca & Jinotega) and I'll be sending updates as I can, but it may not be until after we return, February 22nd.
Thanks all!
