Formation, Learning, and Service: University of Portland Students' Exploration of Nicaragua [34:33]
What happens when eighteen students and three faculty and staff members travel to Nicaragua for three weeks to learn about the political, economical, and social situations of the country? University of Portland's Collaborative for International Studies & Global Outreach (CISGO) attempts to answer that question with Formation, Learning, and Service: University of Portland Students' Exploration of Nicaragua, a digital storytelling project by communication studies professor Courtney Vail Fletcher and videographer/photographer Jeff D. Kennel. Every spring, several University of Portland students, faculty, and staff members take part in the Nicaragua Immersion program through the Moreau Center for Service and Leadership. The program allows students to engage in service learning, focusing on the culture and current social justice issues facing the country. A participant in the 2011 Nicaragua Immersion, Fletcher decided to film the trip for a documentary.

Tasbapauni, Nicaragua - a short walk. [05:06]
Tasbapauni is a small coastal community on the Caribbean Coast of Nicaragua in the RAAS (Región Autónoma Atlántico Sur - South Atlantic Autonomous Region). I was told Tasbapauni means "red dirt." The community is bordered on the east by the Caribbean, and on the west by Laguna de Perlas (Pearl Lagoon). The community is accessible from Bluefields only by boat via Pearl Lagoon. There are no roads or vehicles in the community, and electricity is available only when the community generator is in operation -- usually in the afternoon and early evening. During la contrarrevolucion (the Contra War), the community was the site of fierce fighting centered around the Moravian Church, with memories lingering long in community. A truly beautiful location with a constant ocean breeze, tropical forests, and a serenity unmatched.
