Trips:
Women's Trip with Bridges
October 24-31
This fall, Bridges to Community will host a special "women only" trip to Nicaragua.
The women's group will stay in the farming community of Papayal located just outside
of Managua and in the heart of one of the the largest free-trade zones in Nicaragua.
The group will work side by side with local families in the construction of a home
and planting of a communal garden. If funding is available, female community leaders
from the Bridges Siuna site will live and work with the group all week, creating a third
dimension of cross-cultural exchange between North Americans and community members from
different regions of NIcaragua. In the afternoon, educational and cross-cultural
activities will take place including discussions with women working in sweat shops,
women health leaders, and women working in fair trade companies. Translators will be
available to ensure open cross-cultural communication between Nicaraguan and North
American women.
For more information, please contact group leader Mary Jennings.
College Leadership Trip:
This is a trip for college students who not only want to work on community
development projects in Nicaragua, but who also want to
explore the values and the vision required for effective leadership
in the world today. Besides the work which we will be doing during the day,
the trip will include readings, reflections and conversations
on the topic of leadership with others in our group,
local community members and with the Bridges staff in
Nicaragua.
For more information, contact our Trip Coordinator.
- Dates: May 31-June 8, 2008
