		<description><![CDATA[Prompted by the brilliant article by Tina Rosenberg entitled "The Burden of Thirst", I examine Nicaragua's own afflictions related to the scarce accessibility to clean water. To Ms. Rosenberg's solutions, I illustrate a view of what life might be like for those constantly parched and malnourished if they had a faucet outside their homes.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=mjparaguay.wordpress.com&amp;blog=9296396&amp;post=557&amp;subd=mjparaguay&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A look at my own uncertain American identity brought on by the ghosts of US foreign policy in Nicaragua. I tap into a deep curiosity of what it means to be an American abroad, and pose many questions that beg for answers, having to do with where our less than stellar foreign policy track record abroad puts Americans as a people today. Should we grieve the past or move on towards a brighter tomorrow?<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=mjparaguay.wordpress.com&amp;blog=9296396&amp;post=296&amp;subd=mjparaguay&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
