What am I doing here?

Is a question I’m sure many of you are asking yourselves, since I guess I haven’t really delved into much detail about what it is I’m doing here everyday.
Aside from Spanish and technical classes, I have a few training projects going on. One is a youth group that the four trainees in my training town have put together. It is a group of students from the local secondary school. We meet twice a week with the ultimate goal of competing in a product fair against the other trainees’ youth groups at the end of July. In the process we are giving lessons in technical subjects such as costs and prices, marketing, and accounting; life skills sessions on HIV/AIDS and self-esteem; and helping them through the process of creating a new product to sell. We have a group of 15 students, about 14-18 years old I would estimate, and they are WONDERFUL. Smart. Outspoken. Funny. One kid I am convinced will be the president of Nicaragua some day (and not in the same pattern of tyrants Nicaragua has had, I’m talking about one of the inspirational nation changing leaders). I think we’re well on our way to winning the product fair.
Teaching. During my 3 months of training, I need to teach at least 3 classes at the secondary school. My first class is June 9th. For this first one I taught with the other trainees in my town, the rest I am on my own for. Our first lesson was “My Life in 10 Years.” Goal setting is the focus. The class went well. The students were responsive and enjoyed the lesson. It is a little tough, since classes are only 45 minutes long, to get much done, especially with my level of Spanish. But communication is certainly getting easier and things are going smoother. This is practice for what my main job here in country will actually be: teaching a course called La Empresa Creativa (the Creative Business). It is a terrifying task to say the least. Hopefully some day my Spanish will be at the level where teaching a 90 minute business class doesn’t seem impossible.
The last main project of my training time is called ASBO (Advising Small Business Owners). This project involves interviewing our families about the businesses they run, and conducting a study of one particular type of business in our community. Though the project is called Advising Small Business Owners, this experience is really all about getting us to practice our technical Spanish, and help us learn about the small business environment in Nicaragua. This is an ongoing project that we will present at the end of training. So far I have just been discussing with my host sister her clothing business. She sells clothes out of the home, a very small operation, but has the goal of opening her own clothing store at some point in the future.
