Finally done
The hall is finally done and we're all really proud of our new little and I emphasize little hall. We had a lot of visitors from the neighbors our first night and they all think its the most beautifull building inside and out in their ...
And Another Two Bite the Dust....
Before this year's Thanksgiving feast, all 150 volunteers joined again in Managua for the annual All-Volunteer Conference. I must admit, in the weeks before I headed down to Managua I wasn't all that excited about going. I remember last years being ...
VAGA (as in Vagabond)
... ...Matt was here from July 8th through August 8th. Yes, a complete month and I think I did fairly well in showing Matt around San Isidro. We managed to stay in my site during the week and take 3 day weekends. My family of course loved him, and appreciated ...
Addictions.
I've been lucky in my life; I have been blessed with a body and mind that has not been prone to the cravings and wants of external things to fulfill my internal desires. I have enjoyed the simplicities of days without the nagging wish to have something ...
A Letter Home

You Take The Good, You Take The Bad...
... , I was returning to San Isidro and planning to spend the remainder of August there. Unfortunately, this meant I wouldn't be leaving San Isidro, ever until September arrived! Payday is this Friday and with 50 Cords in my pocket I think I am going to make ...
Cohabitation
How I arrived at this point I'm not sure. I didn't plan on having room mates. I wouldn't call my lack of action to remove them from my house apathy exactly because I didn't want them around. However, for awhile I simply accepted that a few mice lived in ...
The Other Nicaragua
... in Bluefields and were greeted with none other than Costena music and dancing. From a family I have become good friends with in San Isidro, I was invited to stay, by their grand-daughter, at her house in Bluefields. Nicaragua's constantly open up their ...
Under Construction
A HUGE thank you goes to all of you who donated to San Isidro's stove project to benefit 20 women and their families. I know many more had intentions of making a monetary contribution but because of the quick response of so many of you the grant's goal ...
Bike Maintenance 101
... This past Monday, Juan Pablo (VISA guy) and I headed out to visit this river that is located in a small community very close to San Isidro. You can reach it by taking a 15 minute bus ride out to the community and then biking about 20 minutes. We had ...
Presidental Elections
... 's 31%. We needed 2% more to have a run-off election...but those 2 percentage points never came. The Sandinistas around San Isidro declared early victory and celebrated for days. My town is primarily Sandinista; including a Sandinista Mayor. So it's been ...
Dance, Dance Revolution
Meringue, Samba, Salsa, Regatón, and Cumbia are all types of Latin dances that Nicaraguans know and promise to teach me, but when it comes to actually setting a date in which to learn they always baulk. I learned when I tried to teach twirling to ...
Another perspective, Kerry Goessling
... an email that a good friend of mine sent home about how her service was going. I always enjoy reading what she says about Nicaragua. It is a different volunteer´s perspective on her service, but things that we all deal with. Anyway, she writes well and I ...
La Navidad
... was probably the longest I've ever experience because we didn't go to bed until after 3 am! Christmas Day I spent traveling around San Isidro wishing families a Feliz Navidad, but in la noche Mayela and I got to do something we had been trying to ...
Despedidas
... two years. When the hour came to say good bye, I had a difficult time accepting that indeed my service was ending. Back in San Isidro, I thought it would be a good idea to have a fiesta instead of a despedida. Why cry and be sad when I could ...
Life is Good.
... one of the 6 door frames I have located between my two rooms. It might look a little strange, but "hey! This is Nicaragua!" After effectively buying the necessary parts, I held a little dance party outside the hardware store, in celebration of my language ...
Goodbyes And Hellos: Leaving Santa Teresa n Headin

A journal from Kerry Goessling
... . She beautifully describes in one journal entry what I have been trying to explain (and failing at) about life here in Nicaragua. Give it a read... We all paint pictures of how things will be, should be. rarely do our brushstrokes match with the ...

Giving
Over the course of my year and 7 months in San Isidro I have learned that I, as a North American, did not fully understand the concept of sharing and giving. I use to think that sharing involved allowing my friend to borrow my favorite shirt or when I ...
