Greetings from the lovely city of Esteli!
After a restless flight from the states, 22 students 2 adults landed in Managua this afternoon. I was so excited to get our whole group together so the bonding could start. We were timid when we first got off of the plane. After some food and a quick game we loosened up and let our guards down, even if only for a little bit. While waiting for our teammates who came on a separate flight we entertained ourselves by creating elaborate handshakes. It was a freeing and insightful game. Many of the personalities of our amazing group were revealed through this simple activity.
Our group is doing an amazing job bonding and being inclusive so far. The helpfulness and accountability that has been displayed throughout the first day is inspiring and indicative of the posture our team will carry for the rest of the trip. Even when hungry and tired, our group displayed the best version of themselves. There desire to learn and grow is revealing itself and i cannot wait to see what is in store for us all.

Hi all
Hi Anisa .So glad you made it. Njoy and can’t wait to hear all about the trip.
Love Nichelle
So happy to know everyone made it there healthy and happy. Elijah, my dear son, I hate it missed your call. But you could have left a message. I wish you all to enjoy this experience.
No arrival calls came through here either. I am guessing that if you arrived in the afternoon, simply based on Avianca flight data, that the group from San Francisco missed their original flight connection entirely from San Salvador to Managua, so I bet they are tired! Get some sleep, settle in, smile, and have fun!
Hi sis
I missed you.
