Arrived in Managua

While descending into Managua, Nicaragua, I had a magnificent view. I saw mountains and craters filled with water. Seeing the beauty of this country eased my anxieties. I was nervous, anxious, and excited about participating in Project Hope, but now I am only excited. In the hotel lobby we (Nicole, Kim, and myself) ran into volunteers from rotation 2. They gave us some pointers and explained some things to us. They alleviated my anxieties even more. Now I am ready to board the USNS Comfort tomorrow.

  2. Luz, this post is so eloquent, and well written it deserves to be published nationally. Your description of descending into Managua took us there with you, and the outlook of your experience its up beat and positive. A good attitude is definitely a plus when the time arrives to help the people of Nicaragua. God bless everyone of you while you share your knowledge and kindness, serving the people of Nicaragua during ProjectHope.
