"And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for your country.

My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man."

–John F. Kennedy

From September of 2003 until October of 2005 I worked as a Peace Corps Volunteer in the remote village of Boaco Viejo, Nicaragua. I worked with the Ministry of Education as an "environmental educator" but learned much more from my community than what I was able to teach.

I was involved in many different types of projects from composting to computer literacy. A full list of my projects is included in my description of service to the right. Here is an excerpt from the DOS.
