In August our ICES team, Karen Villarreyna and Maria Felix Castillo held a joint training session with Miurell Suarez, Delia Moreno and Lynette Palacios from teh psychology and social work faculties of the local campus of Nicaragua's National University. We are very grateful to Luz López of Boston University's School of Social Work and to Lyn and Len Styczynski and their interpreter Patricia Nuñez for making this training activity possible.
