Wrapping up this week with our special guest Dalia, a boxer and a coach at East Oakland Boxing Association in California! She came down to Nicaragua with the desire to not only train local young boxers, but surprise them with loads of boxing donations. There aren't enough words to describe the energy you brought and gave to these kids. Thank you for allowing us to join you on this week-long adventure and we hope you had an amazing time here with us. All the best with your upcoming fights Dalia!!
