Welcome to CEPAD. We finally arrive to our home away from home. Patty and Rachel wanted to start orientation right away so we started with getting to know everyone’s names. Once at CEPAD we went through what our itinerary would be for the next 13 days. After we looked at our schedule and started to become somewhat prepared for our long days ahead we went over some basic tips to follow while we are down in Nicaragua.
After part one of orientation we all sat down to have an amazing lunch that consisted of chicken, rice, salad and plantain chips. After we cleaned up we went right into part two of the orientation, which consisted of splitting up into teams of four, and going over our Hopes Fears and Expectation for this delegation. Witness for Peace gave each group a bag of props and we had to act out a skit of what we discussed. Patty and Rachel then went over what some of their expectations were of us. Meeting these amazing people and having such a wonderful first day leaves me filled with hope of great days to follow. Next up we were loaded the bus and headed to the market place to do our next exercise.
Reality has finally hit I’m really in Nicaragua
Much love
Melissa
