The Most Wonderful Time of the Year


Thursday and Friday were the local business plan competitions at my highschools!  That means I’ve spend the last couple weeks writing support letters, meeting with business and city officials and revising countless business plans.  Despite numerous last minute changes everything went great.  I raised almost $70 dollars and tons of school supplies for the winning teams.  In the competitions, 21 groups participated from 5 different highschools.  I’m sending 4 teams to the regional competition which will be October 30th.  The winners’ business products were: a snow cone, a floor disinfectant, a perfume and a mayonnaise.  Nothing revolutionary but the perfume and disinfectant are good and stand a chance of making it to the national competition.

It would be a business plan competition without dancing!

The winning team, judges and I


A week from today is the business fundraising gala in Managua.  Can’t wait to ir de marcha with my fellow volunteers!
