Passionate About:

Through my years at UCD as a Nutritional Biology major, I have learned about the tremendous effects of nutrition on healthcare and quality of life. I believe nutritional education is essential to prevent disease worldwide. As I spend my spring break in Nicaragua developing sustainable agriculture, I hope to spread my love and knowledge of 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.
