Our Nicaraguan Friends ~ Introduction

"My classmates and I have been doing projects and writing letters to our Nicaraguan penpals all year long. We write to our penpals because we have a teacher who used to lived in Pueblo Nuevo, Nicaragua and built a library there. My penpal, Grisell, and I have exchanged many letters since the beginning of the school year. Our teacher, Profe Kristina, has been going back and forth to Nicaragua this year because she does the same kids of projects projects with our penpals as she does with us. She has taken our penpals to beautiful places in the forest. They went to the Nicaraguan forest of Tisey and we went to Hidden Villa. After we got back from our field trips we both described how it looked and felt like. We also made videos for our penpals about Hidden Villa and they made videos about Tisey. We explained what we learned from our field trips to the forest." –Liz

"As soon as I get home from Hidden Villa I always tell my mom or dad what happened at Hidden Villa. It makes me feel really happy to tell other people my stories so that they could learn something about Hidden Villa also." - Jessica S.
