Managua!!!

Hey!!!

So first, Britt has been doing a really good job on providing details and such to help you guys try to visualize what we have seen for our own eyes. It´s Day 3 now, and to be honest it´s quite impossible to really paint a clear picture that would sum up everything. There are so many mixed emotions when thinking about everything I´ve seen thus far....from poverty to miracle stories. As Britt was saying before, yesterday we met with a woman named Yamith. She had such an inspiring story about how she survived living in a dump...LITERALLY...to finally living in what she calls¨home.¨ If there´s one thing I would have to say about this trip so far...it would be that you truly learn the definition of Humbleness. Yamith´s story as well as many others here, have shown that despite disaster...they never lost hope but fought and found ways to survive on their own. People such as Yamith, prove that change is possible anywhere...anyhow...The people of Nicaragua have taken matters into thier own hands and that´s is such an admirable thing.
