It is hard to summarize just how transformative the YASC trip to Nicaragua was for our son and me. I have tried to capture the experience in a video. Check it out below -- and please do think about coming on a future Yale Alumni Service Corps trip. They are wonderful experiences.

Service Corps Trip to Nicaragua
Just got back from the Yale Alumni Service Corps trip to Nicaragua. About 70 volunteers which included Yale alumni, friends, and current Yale students and faculty, heading to a small village called El Trohilo to work on a variety of projects. Sponsored by the Yale Alumni Service Corps, the Yale Nursing School and our Nicaraguan partner, CEPAD, the trip had a number of projects. A group of health care professionals ran a clinic that saw over 400 patients. Andrew worked on a construction team that refurbished a community center. A team of business consultants helped local entrepreneurs. My son, Tyler, and I worked on the education team teaching piano.
I will share a bit more about our trip, sort of day by day (with a time delay), as I did when we went to the YASC trip to the Dominican Republic.
If you read nothing else, please know that these trips are life changing -- for the people we serve and those who go on the trips. Please consider going on one.
