Delegations

As I have previously mentioned, during my first days in Central America I visited four different nonprofit agencies in Managua. Three of them are organizations that sponsor social justice delegations in Nicaragua. These delegations are intensive one week to semester long courses that teach groups about the issues surrounding poverty and injustice in Nicaragua. Students do a variety of activities, workshops, speakers, tours, and service. In a previous post I described an example of one of the common delegation activities - attempting to buy food for a family of four on the average Nicaraguan daily income.

Each of my next four posts will be a little overview, some video and photos, of each of the agencies I visited. All of them, especially the Center for Global Education, have websites that offer a better description and with more detail then I can offer. Therefore I am going to attempt to just list some basics and give you all a visual of their centers in Managua.

The forth agency I visited, the one I lived directly across - Centro Cultural Batahola Norte, is an example of a place we may visit during one of the delegations.

Also, the house I lived in is an example of a homestay a student would be living at throughout the delegation.
