"Everybody say 'queso'!"
Driving around in the van upon first arriving in Nicaragua.
Looking over the city of Managua at Mira Goya.
At the top of Mira Goya across Lake Managua. The lake is very picturesque, but is very polluted from the garbage dump. Though the lake is huge and full of fish, it is toxic.
Our work site at the school. Many rooms inside the school have 30+ children. This room will be for Kindergarten.
Dr. Burlingame makes a balloon face to one of the children.
Meredith teaches some of the students a game.
The kids were just adorable!
Miki with some of her new friends.
This children loved pulling on/feeling Madison's hair.
One of the garbage transfer points that we visited after leaving the school. The large, central garbage dump is called "La Chureca" and it is right on Lake Managua. It's likely that we won't be able to go inside La Chureca due to heightened security.
