IICD has prepared an adventurous, unique group of nine volunteers. This is Nicaragua. Together we are working. Together we are finding new solutions to old problems, practicing new systems for organization, developing new techniques for mobilization. Nicaragua is not an easy country to work in.
Development is tough.
People are busy, spread out far and wide, sometimes reluctant to give that extra part of themselves that is so necessary for development. Volunteering is a difficult concept for many people in Nicaragua to embrace. It needs understanding. This is the challenge that we face. Our first steps must be solid steps based on firm ideas of direction and meaning, of thoroughness and planning.
