BEFORE NICARAGUA

Hi, my name is Samantha Nothnagel. I was chosen to be part of a group called Children's Global Alliance, which is a Vail Valley based non-profit organization created to give teenagers a hands on experience in some of the world's most impoverished countries.  

I am going to Nicaragua to a school, Escuela Especil Sor Maria Romero with children that are disabled. I will be teaching children. On top of that I will be cleaning the school, as well as repairing the facilities and feeding the children. I will also be providing medical care, supplies, clothing and school supplies. I applied to go to Nicaragua with the Children's Global Alliance for the inspirational opportunity. Just think who gets to go to Nicaragua to help children with disabilities. I mainly applied because I  thought this would be a life changing event for me. Not only am I able to go to Nicaragua but my twin sister Addison is also going with me. 

Now here is a little bit about me. I am in 7th grade and I go to Eagle Valley Middle School in Eagle Colorado. I go to Vail Gymnastics and I love it. I hope you read my future blogs and have a great day.
