HOY Hear Out Yellow

Yes it´s Day Numero Tres and we finally met up with the banana workers today! We took a cab to the encampment where 1,200 of these banana workers live. All of whom are suffering from the effects of Nemagon. We interviewed the four main leaders of the association and it was just an overwhelming experience. We received more than enough information we can digest in a day and also talking to the other banana workers there was a real insight to their sufferings. We spent all day there filming.

Everyday we have spent here thus far, even though it has only been 3 days, has been wonderful. It is very different from the first time we were here because now we are getting more in touch with the lives of the Nicaraguans. We are learning how to negotiate our dollar to cordobas exchange rates with the money changers, how to squeeze 6 people in a cab without squashing anyone, learning how to cross the streets properly (somewhat) and enjoying the wonderful gallo pinto and refrescos. The best of all, we are all learning so much about each other, everyday is full of surprises!
