Nicaragua is a little larger than New York State. The capital of Nicaragua is Managua and other major cities are Bluefield, Chinandega, Granada, Jinotega, Leon, Masaya, Matagalpa and Rivas. The climate on highlands is cooler and in lowlands is tropical. Nicaragua is warm and has many land that has lakes, mountains; rivers, volcanoes, sea and sun. The country is divided into three geographic regions which are

n the 1800’s a lot of people from Europe started to come into Nicaragua. Also families from Belgium, Spain, Italy, and Germany moved to Nicaragua to set up their own businesses to do with money. They established coffee businesses, newspapers, hotels and banks. The U.S. government negotiated with President Jose Santos Zelaya to get land so their would be a canal through Nicaragua in the late 1800’s. The minister of Nicaragua, Luis Felipe Corea, went to Washington and wrote a letter to the U.S. Secretary of State John Hay addressing the needed support of a canal by the Zelaya government. The Zanchez-Merry Treaty was signed with Nicaragua regarding the canal through Columbia but fell through because it was rejected by John Hay. The Spooner Act,

Though infamous for its political condition, Nicaragua is perhaps one of the cheapest holiday spots in South America. Tourists can indulge in a host of fun activities like kayaking, mountain biking or slide down the slopes of a volcano in Ometepe. Relax, unwind, swim or party – you can do it all if you are in Nicaragua!

The Mir was a part of a continuous war for knowledge of space and exploration. The Mir had a greater mass than any previous space station.

Revolution – a radical change or replacement of a governmental establishment, political system, or society created by the people who are governed. In the República de Chile (Republic of Chile) and República de Nicaragua (Republic of Nicaragua), a revolution was supposed to bring a new and fresh outlook onto the country unfortunately, with every plan there are obstacles. In spite of the sizeable differences, the revolutions that occurred in Chile and Nicaragua share common traits of failure to consolidate themselves with their power and rebellion. In Chile, the journey to socialism drew its motivation from the oppressed and for Nicaragua; the incapability to centralize power came from an authoritarian point of view. Despite Chile and

“The people of Nicaragua were suffering oppression. This made us develop an awareness which eventually led us to commit ourselves to the struggle against the domination of the capitalists of our country in collusion with the United States government.” (Daniel Ortega 1974) As has been discussed throughout the semester thus far many countries throughout Latin America have experienced a political revolution in some way, shape, or form. In the early 1970’s Nicaragua joined the long list of Latin American countries to experience a revolution when the Frente Sandinista de Liberacion Nacional (FSLN) lead by Daniel Ortega successfully overthrew the Somoza dynasty. Many people often times have a misconception of what exactly a political revolution

The United States has been involved with funding and aiding Nicaragua in many different situations though the years after the Somoza assassination. From the devastating earthquake, to rebel Contra groups, the American government has tried relentlessly to spread capitalism in Nicaragua. The FSLN overthrew Anastasio Somoza Debayle in 1979, ending the Somoza dynasty, and established a revolutionary government in its place. Following their seizure of power, the Sandinistas have been successfully in control of the Nicaraguan government since 1979.

Viva Nicaragua combines two of my passions in one experiential learning program. I have always loved traveling and exploring new places, to have the chance to push past my comfort zones. Furthermore, I am incredibly passionate about service and the health care industry. As someone who has shadowed doctors in America, as well as had surgery and required hospital stay, I have experienced both sides of the aisle when it comes to medicine. However, this programs offers me a chance to see outside the “American bubble” and gain a new perspective. I have never been to Nicaragua before and I look forward to the challenge and inspiration from being in a new country and the honor of shadowing doctors in another setting.

One provoking example was taken in Nicaragua in 1978: a young women escaping and barely able to hold a little naked boy while carrying a heavy bag- the caption says “Fleeing the bombing to seek refuge outside of Esteli, Nicaragua, Sep. 20, 1978”. Please see figure 3. In addition to many other provoking examples of similar nature; hopeless people, who don’t need a lens following them in that critical and most difficult time of their

The country of Nicaragua, located in the center of Central America, is one the poorest nations in Latin America. Nicaragua’s citizens are primarily mestizo who account for almost 70% of the population. With a population of nearly six million, 58.8% of Nicaraguans live in urban areas, with nearly 2% of citizens migrating from rural areas to the cities in search of jobs and better welfare. However, internal migration to rural areas also exist seasonally for agricultural labor. Due to the current economic standing of the nation, Nicaragua’s current population growth rests at 1%, while losing 3 out of 1,000 citizens due to emigration. While the nation has seen small growth in its GDP at a 4.5% growth rate, many Nicaraguans continue to migrate out of the nation. In 2009, is was estimated that 42.5% of Nicaraguans lived below the poverty line, with the lowest 10% of citizens sharing 1.4% in household income. In 2008, it was recorded that underemployment rate was at 46.5% (CIA Factbook). When looking at the statistics and numbers for this nation, it is easy to understand the reasoning for many Nicaraguans emigrating out of their country.

The subjects of Agriculture and Rural Development, including Natural Resource Economics, will enable me to empirically assess patterns that nest within it like; the relationship between climate change and food insecurity in marginalized communities: The case of semi-arid areas in Malawi. Through this plan, I will be able to answer questions on the nexus between food security, water use and energy security, as well as the indicators of climate change in Malawi. The correlation between climate change, the levels of food insecurity in Malawi and rural development, will also be accorded an investigation

Central America is one of the regions most exposed to climate change. A narrow isthmus between the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea has especially been affected by droughts, hurricanes and the El Niño-southern oscillation (ENSO) phenomena within the last century. Soil is the largest terrestrial organic carbon pool and can act as a source or sink for atmospheric CO2. Although reliable soil carbon (SOC) stock measurements of major ecosystems are essential for predicting the influence of advancing climate change, comprehensive data on SOC stocks is still scarce for most ecosystems in subtropical areas. Much of the regional economy is based on agriculture, especially in diverse farming systems of smallholders over the last century (Imbach

The social factors of Nicaragua are education, immigration, and religious. This factors are important to know because it will help me with how educated my employees would be, religious would affect the factory or helping the factory. I believe it would be a good idea to build a factory in Nicaragua because of all the research I have received have been good for the factory to be built

Additionally, the Caribbean Coast of Nicaragua is also a known transit point for illicit drug trafficking and illegal arms-for-drugs dealing.

In a globalized economy, economic growth comes along with problematic social impacts. Market volatility directly affects coffee growers mostly from poor countries where there is a lack of certain degree of transparency by local government. This context results in new types of organization, NGOs, and consequently the change governance paradigm. NGOs, in partnership with farmers, business and government, play an active role in creating a multilateral framework to manage sustainability issues such as gender inequality, low wages, poor working condition. NGOs will help narrow the gap between producer and consumer price and protect farmers in ‘commodity-dependency’ countries from
