"There were countless ah-hah moments in Nicaragua and I feel blessed to have had them so young. The experience has brought me 10 steps closer to knowing what I want to do in my life. I can’t thank blueEnergy and the Bluefields community enough for challenging me to reconstruct my ideas about the world, nonprofits, public health, and myself."
