From Jenna:

            This morning we were given the opportunity to eat an authentic breakfast of tamales. We used the morning to meet with the entrepreneurs to continue working on our projects. Some groups worked on financial statements while others did manual work such as painting the Spanish school. Most entrepreneurs now have websites, flyers and business cards to assist in making their business successful. As the morning progressed the one group worked with Mirna to make a typical school budget lunch of rice and chicken. This gave us the opportunity to see what the people of Nicaragua typically eat each day. Most groups were able to complete all of the work necessary for their entrepreneurs during the afternoon and into the evening. Throughout the day we all discovered how much we appreciate the Internet and electricity due to sporadic outages in the city. We used the early evening to explore the city, shop at local stores and watch the sunset on the beach. Some of the students decided to go zip lining through the forest during the afternoon. We all went to dinner at a Mediterranean restaurant two blocks away from the hotel before the establishment closes next week. Overall it was a productive day with the entrepreneurs putting the finishing touches on their next step to success.
