.NOVEMBER 2010 - JANUARY 2011

ITINERARY INCLUDES VISITS TO THE PEOPLE'S RESISTANCE IN HONDURAS

Tom Baker here inviting you to join me in Nicaragua during the months of November January 2010 2011
Spanish tutoring is structured and flowing, integrated into the learning of Nicaraguan culture and 
history, the revolution in Nicaragua and what's going on now in Honduras. 

We think you will find the experience of Nicaragua is important, especially now for solidarity with 
the popular resistance to the coup in Honduras.

People of Nicaragua and Central America are among the many of the Americas whose first identity 
is their indigenous root. They never lost their indigenous identity while coping with 500 years of 
Old World Imperialism, Spain, Britain, and the USA. 

If any one of you has interest in revolutionary Nicaragua, to learn more about People as Power, 
or just want immersion in a Spanish speaking culture, SIGN UP NOW. 

The delegation fee is $400/wk, full day immersion in Spanish with tutor, includes lodging, most meals 
and most transportation. You cover airfare to Nicaragua (which Cheaptickets.com  states is $435.

Visiting again Nicaragua, OBJECTIVES AND ITINERARY. There are people and places 
where I need to touch base, in particular, the union of small farmers, UCA, San Ramon 
and Miraflor the coffee coop communities of the cloud forests, and the artesano community 
of Masaya. 

We also have invitation to visit Solentiname, a famous archipelago artist fishing community 
as old as Nicaragua at the south end of the huge Lago Cocibolca (Lago de Nicaragua). 

THE POLITICS are quite historic. All the places we go and all the people we talk with have 
personal knowledge about the revolutionary struggles going on, the New Way coming about. 
HONDURAS everyone there knows about. 
We will see for ourselves how revolutionary projects move forward in Nicaragua and throughout 
the Americas. We need to come home with a sense of that. 

SANDINO AND THE PEOPLE'S WAR 1925-33. The US Marines were occupying Nicaragua then 
with the similar regard to people and communities as shown the Vietnamese and Iraqis, and so on. 

That US war against the people took place in the cloud forests, Nuevo Segovio, northern Nicaragua, 
bordering Honduras. 
Much of the 10-year US Contra War was also fought there, Nuevo Segovia, 1981-90. 
Sandinismo is the People of Nicaragua. The Nicaraguan people whipped the Marines (and the Contras) 
at great cost in lives, and political-economic upheaval. 
We would walk and talk with you those places of people's heroic struggle. 

We headquarter in MASAYA, from where we travel to other places and return. My professors live there. 
Monimbo is there, and the whole area is rich with indigenous artesano and struggle against Somoza 
and for dignity. Sandino was born there (Niquihomo)

My professors have taught me much more than Spanish. Bismark or Danilo have traveled with me 
on my different photo documentary and video projects. Learning of Spanish (and culture, history) 
will be all day exercise. 

Friends, there is so much happening in Nicaragua. 
Environmental restoration, sustainable agriculture, cooperative development, revolutionary project 
and indigenous community with deep historical consciousness. 

I can make an itinerary to suit any of your interests. JUST LET ME KNOW. 
People have said, Nicaragua is a prism through which to see the rest. You find one prism, you'll find others. 
I expect this experience in Nicaragua to be quite enlightening, and strengthening.
