Amie Riley, Executive Director of Casa Verde, International Travel and Service-Learning
In Limon, where the ocean spray blows amidst a pre-industrial community that carries cell phones and insists on wireless internet, Amie Riley finds herself at home. As Case Verde continues to develop and thrive, Riley counts herself lucky to see the passion she felt as a young person in the German countryside extend to a new generation along the Nicaraguan coast. And it’s there that she has turned her efforts towards a task her mentors couldn’t have imagined, and in a world none of them could have foreseen. Today, Casa Verde asks and answers questions like, “How do you inspire deliberate compassion, reflection and activism amongst a generation of globalized youth?” and “What will galvanize the raw enthusiasm of a new millennium with the power to change the planet with the click of a mouse or the purchase of a place ticket? Amie Riley answered these questions for myself by going out into the world, with a sense of awe and incredulity, looking for justice and friendship. Now, she has devoted her life to being a champion for this new generation of young people by empowering them to answer these questions and remake this world, for themselves.This is how the world changes. The world is changing right here.
