Welcome to the team Esther!
This past month Comunidad Connect was excited to add a new member
to our team, Esther María Balladares! Esther is originally from the city of Masaya, with a degree in Environmental Engineering from the Central American University (UCA) in Nicaragua. She is joining Comunidad Connect as an Administrative Assistant and Program Coordinator in our office in San Juan del Sur. She will be supporting the country director, administration of the organization, and assistance with sports activities in the south. Esther will also be leading Comunidad Connect’s Chicas Fuertes initiative to expand our girls empowerment sports program, as well as our Becas El Carrizal scholarship program for students.
Esther is excited for this new role, noting, “Comunidad Connect is a great opportunity to continue learning how to develop community projects. It has been fascinating so far to learn different sports disciplines and be able to share experiences with children, adolescentes, referees and scorekeepers. My new role brings enrichment to my personal and professional life.”
