On the day after the big earthquake, 8 students joined me on a service-learning trip to Nicaragua. We visited small mountain villages that didn't have access to medical clinics and medicine. The volunteer spirit of those 8 students made a big impression on the lives of everyone we met.
An amazing thing to me in Nicaragua was that even in the poor villages, people who had gotten word of Japan's sorrow were praying for a swift recovery for Japan. It was very humbling to hear people who live in the humblest of circumstances praying for Japan.
