Hola! My name is Daniella DiMarco and I’m a senior at Montclair State University. I am studying mathematics education, were I plan on becoming a teacher in a middle school setting. I am grateful that I have the opportunity to experience this learning delegation in Nicaragua. I hope to gain a better understanding about their culture, economic struggles, and their care for nature. I believe that this delegation will give me an opportunity to grow as a person through this experience, create more goals and ambitions for myself from the amazing people I will meet. I would like to take this delegation and educate my children by being appreciated of their surrounds and life. Adios!
We are a group of 12 Montclair State University students on a learning delegation led by Professor Jhon Velasco to Nicaragua from January 4th to 13th, 2012. One of the many learning objectives of our delegation is to gain a better perspective of the various systems that keep developing countries (like Nicaragua) from achieving economic and social stability. This annual service learning project is the result of a partnership with Witness for Peace -- a politically independent, nationwide grassroots organization based in Washington D.C. committed to non-violence and social justice. Upon returning, we are committed to educate and create change within our communities.
