Blog post number 9

I am writing this blog post a little bit upset because on Wednesday March 12, 2014 my second community partner city of Belmont Jonathan Gervais was in a meeting the whole day. And he did not call me or anything to let me know. I have lost faith in this community partner. I will now talk about my second community partner alternative spring break Nicaragua. My community partner has not being in any judicial processes, but we did go to a Nicaragua women rights activist group called "la coperasion." This organization helps out the women that have been in domestic violence and I learned that Nicaragua does not have a District Attorney that accuses the defendant. The Plaintiff has to hire an attorney to accuse the defendant. I found this to be the problem of high crime in Latin America after, researching Mexico has the same system. This makes no sense only people with economical resources can afford to go through judicial process. The center helps women get child support and getting to stay in the house that they are current living in. The women in this center get death threats from the men in Mulukuku and I believe they are very brave for this most people would quit and go home. For example, in Nicaragua the center got sued for abusing children and they cannot house kids in the center this is an issue that the Nicaraguan government should fix.
