I came across this article about William Walker, the King of Nicaragua in the 1850’s. It’s an interesting look at history and events that not many people know about it. I also think it’s important to know the previous history of the United States in Nicaragua to hone our communications techniques in talking to local populations. To many people in Nicaragua, they know the intimate details of US involvement in their country. For us to ignore the historical background of the interactions of the two countries would put us at a significant disadvantage when talking to Nicaraguans. Rest assured, we are doing all the research we can on solar lighting as well as the culture and history of the country.
