Passionate About:

I live for helping others, and get especially fired up when I can integrate my love for nutrition and health with the opportunity to help others. Through various volunteer experiences I have been lucky enough to be a part of, I have witnessed first hand the impact that a little bit of education can have on a person's health. I am beyond excited to see this impact in a new and unfamiliar place to me, and help a community work toward sustainability and better nutrition .

UC Davis Nicaragua Spring Break 2016



Volunteer Activity Description

Come join us in our efforts in Nicaragua this coming Spring Break! GSEs Nicaragua program focuses on sustainable agriculture practices in Chacraseca. The goal of our projects is to create and maintain biointensive gardens that produce healthy food for young students at all 13 schools in Chacraseca. Each year students work in collaboration with Nicaraguan leaders and students on projects such as creating garden beds, building a greenhouse, or setting up irrigation.

Traveling with GSE means working alongside our Nicaraguan peers, hiking up a volcano through the mist of Lake Nicaragua, and visiting beautiful colonial Leon, a center of culture and history with many beautiful murals and cathedrals. Students experience Nicaragua through discussions about the countries social and environmental history. GSE Nicaragua staff and students welcome groups to their community and share their experience working on their school farms. Participants sample delicious local cuisine served at family farms, at local restaurants, as well as meals specially prepared for us and brought to our hostel.
