T minus 3 days

At 6am Friday morning, the 10 of us will fly out of Dulles Airport (outside of Washington DC), first flying to Miami, then Managua and finally arriving in Bluefields, Nicaragua.

Nicaragua has a great need; until the 2010 Haiti Earthquake, Nicaragua was considered by the World Bank to be the poorest country in the world, it's now the second poorest with half of Nicaraguans living on less than a dollar a day (for the Atlantic Coast, ie. Bluefields the number is closer to 75% of the population) [http://www.cepadusa.org].

[Ps. It's not easy to update a Blogger on the iPhone.]
