Wordless Wednesday: #WaterAidNica Edition

jennifer · March 19, 2014 · 26 Comments

Following are some photos I’ve taken during the first two days I’ve spent in Nicaragua with WaterAid America. I’ve shared more on my social media channels, which you can easily follow here. You can also watch the video I recorded after my first full day in Nicaragua here.
I’ll be heading out to more remote areas on Wednesday and Thursday and will be staying “in community” this evening, so I will be without an internet connection for some time. I’ll update when I get back to a place that has wifi!

      It’s hard to capture in words and photos alone, but I will do my best!

      Thanks, Nicole. The dust is pretty crazy when a truck drives by. Very pretty too though!

    Wow. I’m not sure if it’s the way you captured these photos or just how it really is or just my perception, but even in a place that needs so much help, I still see so much beauty in it.

      You hit the nail on the head, Ashlee! Despite the lack of basic necessities, there is tremendous beauty here, both in the land and the people.

    I suppose I wasn’t expecting you to post anything this Wednesday since I knew you were away. Glad I didn’t miss this post though. Great pictures and looking forward to reading all about your trip.

    I have limited access to internet and I have been dying to read and see how you are doing and I just LOVE seeing that your experience is so profound and obviously enlightening to you, and all of us reading and living through your journey, Jen. I can’t wait to see and learn more!!
    Keep the course, do good, make water. (Oh, and eat bacon…when you get home.)

      The first thing I wanted when I came home was vegetables! I barely had a trace of vegetables when I was in Nicaragua. What an experience though.

      Thanks, Michelle. The dust was pretty crazy. Every time a truck went by, we had to cover our faces.
