 Last summer, a group of women spent a week among Chacraseca's women. On of  the activities was a recipe swap of sorts...
The women from the US shared a traditional casserole recipe and
enjoyed the puzzled reaction of the Nica women to the idea of canned green beans! 
On another hilarious occasion, one of our trip participants talked a woman into taking a photo withher wile both of them were sitting on the brand new latrine in her backyard! The  light embarrassment of both parties made for heartfelt laughter and this beautiful photo.
We hope you will be able to join us as we develop relationships with our global sisters- learning about their culture, experiencing daily life with them, hearing their struggles, hopes, and dreams, and sharing ours. We will also engage with them in some type of community service such as building a latrine or working in the schools or clinics. We'll cook together, play together and learn together.
There is limited space available on this trip. If interested, please email us!
