Final Reflection- Bethany

The last few days we spent in Nicaragua were some for the most meaningful for myself. The days we spent at the orphanage, in the villages- those were days where I learned a lot about people and God and water. However, after returning from Awastingni and Pinera, I was able to reflect on the things I had learned. Poverty is relative, kids are kids everywhere, and I have no qualms with rice and beans three meals a day. The Collaboratory and the Nicaraguan people have changed my worldview and inspired me to live my life in a way that allows myself and others to be aware and proactive in the lives of those that live both close and far away, and to be aware of the profound importance of clean water.
