Team Nicaragua is an annual international learning delegation of 20 Montclair State University students, under the direction of Jhon Velasco, Director of the Center for Non Violence and Peace Initiatives. This unique program offers students the opportunity to learn first hand about the social, political, and economic disparities in developing countries and the United States, using the complexities of the issues in Nicaragua as a model.

It is Sunday morning, we are readying ourselves for a 4 hour van ride to the mountain area of Nicaragua. This region is known for its coffee production, it is also the location where we will be having our home stays and a visit with Nicaragua's Dalai Lama ... Vicente. Vicente is not only a farmer but a peace maker.
Because the region where we will be until Tuesday has no internet services we will not be able to blog until Tuesday evening.
Everyone is safe and going through their own incredible journey.
Thank you for your support and love.
Jhon Henry
