Day 4 in Jinotega complete. ✅
Waking up at 5am was no challenge for our glimpsers. El Colegio La Salle welcomed us to their class with excitement and kindness. Although at first it was difficult for some students to communicate with the Nica students, they all tried every hard to use hand signals and their traveling journal to grow bonds. After 10am, all our glimpsers were exchanging social medias and making new friends. It was awesome. This activity demonstrated the differences in education systems from back home and many students ended the day stating they will definitely value school more when we get back.
Despues de nuestro almuerzo fuímos paratras al colegio a conoser los estudiantes del Access Program que tienen 5 meses aprendiendo el ingles. Estabamos muy impresionados con la qualidad de su ingles. ¡Nos podíamos comunicar perfectamente!
Even though it felt like a packed day, the second half was discussions and leadership meetings within our group so it wasn’t all fun and games. It is 11:15pm, and I have been up since 4:15am so I am heading to sleep. Buenas noches familia y amigos!
Great to see everyone so excited about school! You all look nice in school uniform. I hope you continue to enjoy your stay and discover something new each and every day. Hi Sean, love your smile. It’s great to hear your voice. Hawn is going to SF this weekend so it’s just me and Joel. I think he is starting to notice something. The house is too quiet. We miss you.

Glad you guys are enjoying Jinotega J1A delegation! I remember I was having an extreme amount of fun and at the same time opening my eyes at global issues. The experience didn’t hit me that much when I was there exactly 1 years ago, but once I got home, looking back at those 18 days brings so much nostalgia that I can’t help but cry. I want to give a special shootouts to Thu and Quimay! It’s your favorite ambassador Charlie hoping you guys are enjoying the lovely city hidden in the mist as much as I did. I can’t wait for you guys to come back and talk to me about your favorite memories. I hope the entire J1A delegation will consider becoming a GG ambassador as its so rewarding mentoring future youths, as I did to Thu and Quinsy back at home. Take care guys and I hope travelers diarrhea isn’t too bad! Say hi to Don Julio and his family to me! I miss them con todo mi corazon. Make sure you guys tell your hostel owner and comedor caretakers how much you appreciate them. Also your GG leaders. Say what you need to say before it’s too late.Take care guys! 2015 J1A signing out.
