Nicaragua: Learn, Serve, Immerse
Join Global Family Travels in an incredible journey to delve into the culture and society of contemporary Nicaragua. We will work with a small community outside of Leon to support their many endeavors, such as building safe, fuel-efficient stoves and latrines, supporting the local school, or organic gardening to increase food production.
