Halfway through the week during the PEACE Alternative Break trip to Nicaragua, the team and community members had a fiesta to celebrate the local women’s cooperative’s eight-year anniversary (as well as a 16-year-old boy’s birthday). After a meal of rice and beans, the kids went off to play games and the adults talked and listened to music.
“As the party eventually got into full swing and everyone was up and dancing as the sun set, I was sitting on a nearby ridge catching my breath from playing soccer with the kids,” said Matthew Lyon ’15, who helped lead the trip. “I looked out to see all the UT participants mingling with all the community members, laughing, dancing and playing games together. It looked exactly like my family reunions that I had gone to for years, and that’s when I knew that this was the best group of people I could be surrounded by.”
