It is hard to believe that our time here in Nicaragua has come to
an end. The night before our flight we sat around discussing our trip as we
completed the evaluation forms. It was amazing to recount all the things we had
done in just nine days. We had a few days to explore some of the beautiful things
Nicaragua has to offer. Then we dove into our work with the entrepreneurs;
assessing their needs and brainstorming how to resolve issues. Lastly, we had a
day to roam San Juan del Sur as we please. This trip was the perfect balance of
work and play.
But heading home was a bittersweet moment for me. Traveling abroad introduced me to things I
had not imagined. Many of the entrepreneurs felt as though they learned things
from us. Ultimately, we all walked away with more from them than they did from
us. The relationships and connections that developed during my time there with
UMD students, faculty, UAM students, and the entrepreneurs are what I appreciate
the most. I feel very fortunate to have been part of this opportunity with such
great individuals.
