Nicaragua

Hi Team... Just wanted to wish you luck this week on your exams (or hope you did well if you are done... :-). Nicaragua was amazing. We stayed at a great villa overlooking a bay but we also met a lot of local Nica's and learned about their culture. The person I stayed with is Tim Kelly. Some of you may know him from different volleyball tours. He runs all the college tours as well as exposure tours for players looking to play internationally. Anyway, he moved to Nica after bringing a vb tour there. He is involved with a lot of community projects in the community. He would love to get a group of girls down there on their spring break to work with the kids in the schools, work on the earthship he is building (an "off grid" sustainable house made of recycled tires and bottles and other local materials). You would stay for really cheap, do community service, work with local kids in their schools, get to hang out at the beach, maybe go sailing and for sure surf at a private beach he has access to. He would probably ask you to play a little volleyball on the local cement court where the city would come out to watch and would be excited. The reason he is offering this is to bring people into the community to raise awareness, do community service and gain some public excitement for some other projects he is involved with. Anyway, the key to this post is that it would be really cheap. I just throw it out there for you all to consider for next spring break. It would be fun, easy (he would plan everything) and a good service and cause at the same time. Just think about it and we can continue to discuss if any of you have any interest. It wouldn't have to be everyone but it would have to be enough of you to create excitement when you went into the community. Ps.. its also an easy flight. 3 hours to Atlanta and 3 hours to Managua Nicaragua and then a 2 hour drive to San Juan Del Sur.
