Day numero tres in Nicaragua. The past couple days we have been getting adjusted to Nicaragua. We´ve had class yesterday and today. In addition to classes, Yesterday we had a walking tour of Managua, and a bus tour of the old part of town. Today we listened to a speaker today who gave us the entire history of Nicaragua and talked about the current political situation. Our reading has been pretty interesting. Today we read and had a good discussion about Non Governmental organizations roles in developing countries in terms of citizen participation. How much of a role do they play, how much do they hold back. Because dependency can be generated, then the organization leaves and problems remain. This all ties into sustainable development, its a complicated issue but given the number of NGO´s its an imporant to study this- especially since I hope to work in that field someday!
