Another participant in this project, who has served as an outstanding resource in the planning thus far, and offers her expertise in the field of international education is Amalie Gorbold. Amalie is a graduate student in the MA ITEP program at American University and serves as our research assistant and development expert. We are so grateful to have her on our team.

our trip is fast approaching!

It has been quite awhile since I last wrote an update, however things are moving along quite quickly. We are assembling our team of students, which will be finalized by Friday. We are writing the collaborative workshops for the faculty at the Porteno School and are excited to share our ideas and teaching strategies.
Many individuals have reached out to assist us in making this project a success by holding book and supply drives and collecting monetary donations. Thank you very very much to all those generous individuals who have organized, collected and sent supplies, and those who are still doing this. All of your help is so greatly appreciated and needed!
If you'd like to know how to make a monetary donation, please contact me at palombo@american.edu or thenicaraguaproject@gmail.com.
