We started off our sixth day here in Jinotega with a very delicious breakfast made by our lovely chiefs. Then, we started our day a little differently today. Instead of reading off the quotes of the day and discussing it with a shoulder partner, then sharing out our thoughts among each other, our GG leaders decided that it would be better for us (Glimpsers) to bond more, and so we were devided into two groups, the leaders request us to draw an ideal kind of world without saying a word to each other. The results turned out beautiful!
Right after our first Academic Seminar, we got on the bus to finally start a new day outside of the hostle, our destination for the day was Cuculmeca; which is a great women led organization.
As expected from the leader of the day, I had to go inside with Belkis and check if they are ready for us. Unfortunately, the president of the organization could not make it to the meeting, but we lucky enough to have three awesome presentations from Non-Govermental Organizations; Water For People, Peace Corps, and EduCo.
All three organizations´ presenters were very passionate about what they are doing, and have high hopes in helping the community. We were also grateful to have them join us for lunch at Cuculmeca, which I also want to mention that it was very delicious.
Afterwards, we came back to the hostle, had free time for a little while, then started training our new leaders. Since we have free day tomorrow, our GG leaders, coordinators and I had to train the next two upcoming leaders instead of just one. While we were doing the training, the rest of the group went outside with the other leader (Brittney) to get few snacks, I was really thankful for those who had shared their snacks with me!
Even though we had a lot of negativity going on between each other, we ended our day with on a good note after we decided to just talk things out and end it. All in all, I felt like I wasn´t the greatest leader out of the whole group, everyone at the nightly meeting made me feel better about myself!
