Get ready, cause I'm starting up the blog again! This summer I'll be in Nicaragua. Remember that Engineering World Health (EWH) thing I did in Tanzania a couple years ago? Fixing medical equipment? Well they also have a program in Nicaragua, and this time I'm not a student volunteer. I'll be the "On The Ground Coordinator" (OTGC) for the 2nd month of their program, while they work in the hospitals. I'm in charge of maintaining hospital contacts, acting in case of emergency, and traveling around between the hospitals, helping the students with any repairs they may struggle with. It's a paid position, and all my flights, vaccinations, etc were covered. I also booked my flights with room for solo vacation travel. I have 10 days before I start work, and 2 weeks after, to just backpack around the country doing whatever sounds fun.
I touch down in Managua June 5th, so stay tuned for more posts!
