Yarmouth teen uses service to see the world
YARMOUTH — Last summer Kristopher Cody, a sophomore at Yarmouth High School spent three weeks of his vacation in Nacaragua with VISIONS Service Adventures, an international service learning summer program.
Cody was one of 22 high school students who traveled to Jinotega, a large town about 100 miles north of Managua, the capital. Along with other teens, he helped to build the central office for a water treatment system that will serve several rural communities. They also completed the foundation for a community center and volunteered at a Jinotega elementary school helping the teachers plan and teach English-language classes.
In addition to the program in Nicaragua, VISIONS Service Adventures operates a dozen summer service programs around the globe in North, Central and South America, the Caribbean West Indies, Southeast Asia and Africa.
