Volunteer
You've got some vacation time coming up, right? Why not take a week and spend it making a difference. Recruit some friends or family, too! You won't return home the same, as the kids will capture your heart. Spend time at the school, in the community, take a trip to the beach, hike a volcano, or check out the local markets of Nicaragua. You'll have an interpreter anywhere you go, and never run out of productive and fulfilling work and adventure!
