Today we continued work with the San Juan del Sur
entrepreneurs in each of our four groups.
My team and I worked with a woman named Margarita who makes micro-loans
to residents looking to start a business here in town. We worked with her to
essentially organize all of her documents into an excel spreadsheet as well as
flyers and business cards that could help market here small cosmetics business
that she also sustains. Each group was
hard at work all morning before eating a great lunch in the hotel with our
entrepreneurs. For the most part
everyone got to finish their projects and prepare presentations for tomorrow.
At around three, when all groups had finished working, 15 of
us went zip lining. The place that we
went to was known for being the tallest and fastest zip line in all of
Nicaragua. Despite Lily’s best efforts
to try and stop us, we flew through 17 different cables and experienced a very
scenic view of San Juan del Sur and its amazing beaches. I was personally in awe of how beautiful the
Nicaraguan countryside really is.
Luckily we were able to capture a variety of pictures and videos
documenting our experience.
Dinner tonight was again at the hotel where we have gotten
four of the better meals since we have been here. Roxana’s talents in the kitchen are second to none, forcing me to eat enough for two every time I sit down at the table. After another
successful day in San Juan del Sur, we got the opportunity for a free evening
to relax and regroup.
Tomorrow will be our last day in San Juan del Sur where we
will present all of the work that we have done for the entrepreneurs and hand
out special awards and certificates.
After having traveled to each of the four cities, I would have to say
that San Juan has been my favorite. Not
only does it have the nicest beaches and views in all of Nicaragua, but also
the cleanest and safest streets. I am
glad that we could end the trip in such an awesome place and have the ability
to relax and get out in the sun on our final days.
