Interest Meeting for Nicaragua Trip in November
On Thursday, March 14, Chuck Selvaggio, founder of the Wilmington-based Neighbors to Nicaragua, spoke to students who are interested in traveling to Nueva Esperanza, Nicaragua, to tutor students in Spanish at Centro de Oportunidad, the school Mr. Selvaggio built in 2011. Mr. Dougherty, head of the Global Studies Program, is hoping to travel to Nicaragua with 8-12 students (grades 10-12) over Thanksgiving break in 2024. With the support and guidance of the school's staff, Archmere students would teach basic reading skills to the children in the barrio of Nueva Esperanza and likely join them on a day-long excursion, perhaps to a waterpark. The March 14 tag day raised $800 for Mr. Selvaggio's organization. Contact Mr. Dougherty for more details.
