Headed to Nicaragua!

Hey everyone,

I know it's been quite a while but hopefully you are all up to following my travels again, this time to Central America! This July through August about ten college students and I will be traveling to Somotillo, Nicaragua (a highly impoverish agricultural village) to teach agricultural education to children and help build a new farm. The entire experience is being led by the Feed by Seed organization (click the blog title for the link), which is a brand-new non-profit started by a college student from Virginia.

As I am majoring in International Agricultural Development at UC Davis, I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to literally go out in the field and do what I expect to do in this field as a future career. I am leaving California on July 30 and may or may not have much internet access after I leave the States; however, I will be keeping a journal as always and will definitely put some posts up as soon as I can!

Thanks for your continued support in all of my travels!

Margery
