Managua Presentations:
Sorry the digital images for these schools bit the dust….bummer.
Seth woke up really really sick this morning (it took us 4 more days to figure out he had Malaria).
Our first presentation was in the morning at Central America University, (UCA). It was a big wake-up call talking in front of hundreds of college level students in Spanish. Much more overwhelming then we are used to with all of other presentations. We really stick together in these presentations, and pass it back and forth to get it done. All these kids were Environment, Sciences and Technology students, and they had very good questions for us. It was great to be able to demonstrate for them something that they hadn’t ever seen, but most had studied.
It was great to work with Lizzet Gonzalez and Benjamin East from the US Embassy. They formulated a full college level curriculum in Spanish that went with our presentation. It was Brilliant.
Our next presentation was at the Instituto Nacional Tecnológico CECNA. This was an all male technical school teaching 16-19 year old specific trades. We had a great group at this, and they were all psyched. We demonstrated the availability of jobs in the up and coming petroleum free world.
