Sonoma Summer in Nicaragua June 9 - 20, 2015

Start Date: Jun 10, 2015 12:00 AM
End Date: Jun 21, 2015 12:00 AM

Traveling with GSE means working alongside our Nicaraguan peers, hiking up a volcano through the mist of Lake Nicaragua, and visiting beautiful colonial Leon, a center of culture and history with many beautiful murals and cathedrals. Students experience Nicaragua through discussions about the countries social and environmental history. GSE Nicaragua staff and students welcome groups to their community and share their experience working on their school farms. Participants sample delicious local cuisine served at family farms, at local restaurants, as well as meals specially prepared for us and brought to our hostel.

Beyond enjoying the abundance of beauty and biodiversity of Nicaragua, students cultivate leadership skills through the implementation of projects in collaboration with Nicaraguan leaders and students.
