The Inspiring Story of the Mariposa in Nicaragua

#159
I have something that I want to share with you as we go into this new school year. If you know me you know that I have talked a lot about my experiences in Nicaragua and I have been there this summer.  I had an opportunity to sit down with Paulette Goudge and talk about what this Mariposa experience is and to bring it to you on this episode of the podcast. I can wait for you to hear all about what goes on in La Concha, Nicaragua.  So, let's jump in.

Topics in this Episode:

• • I have been visiting San Juan de la Concepción, Nicaragua for over 10 years. Hear about my personal experience working with Paulette Goudge and La Mariposa.
  • Paulette's first visits to Nicaragua in the 1980's and adopting her daughter.
  • The vision for La Mariposa.
  • The Mariposa has many community projects to support the local community and provides income to families that would otherwise not be able to earn.
  • While La Mariposa is called an eco-hotel and Spanish school, it is so much more than that with all of the volunteer opportunities available.
  • Who goes to La Mariposa?
  • Sustainable food practices.
  • Visit the La Mariposa: mariposaspanishschool.com
