DELEGATIONS
Every year, PG/L sponsors delegations that travel to Nicaragua to experience the people, the history, the land and the program of PGlL. Through the office in León, PGlL arranges the schedule and content of the visit in Nicaragua. Visits usually last 7-10 days.
Common to these delegations are visits to project sites, including health clinics, coffee cooperatives, and other micro-enterprises. Often the visitors participate in home stays with Nicaraguan families, where they can experience the warmth and hospitality of the Nicaraguan people--often the highlight of the delegation experience.
Each year, in January and March, two student groups from Gettysburg College participate in delegations to Nicaragua. PG/L also sponsors delegations designed for any interested community members; the next one is scheduled for the fall of 2007.
Delegations serve an important educational function, and participants often report that their visit is a formative experience in their lives.
