Service Visit to Escuela Cristiana de Sordos

A taxi ride down a long and bumpy dirt road on the outskirts of Managua brought us to the deaf school where Naomi and Stephanie are working for their service assignment. In the mornings Naomi does crowd control in a grade one class and Stephanie helps in the high school classes. At 10:30 there is a snack... gallo pinto (beans and rice), at 12 there is lunch... gallo pinto...

In the afternoon they mostly help in the office area or do various non classroom work for the teachers. Then they go home with the director, Dina, for supper.... gallo pinto!... and to relax for a bit before bed.

On Saturday they are back at the school for a Nicaragua Sign Language lesson.

Unfortunately, the day we were there was a school holiday and so we could not get pictures of Naomi and Steph in action with the students.
