I’ll be heading to Nicaragua for a company-sponsored humanitarian trip in October. The group organizing the trip is Amigos for Christ. I’ll be there a week – the 9th to the 16th. We’ll be doing different tasks, including digging a well and building houses.

Basic information about Nicaragua

• GDP Per Capita (PPP): $2,900
• Affluence: 133th in the world – below average

Looks like we’re not the only ones going: The next season of Survivor is going to be in Nicaragua.
