Serving in an area of the world relatively close to your home country where the dominant language is the same as your own might seem relatively easy. But Young Anabaptist Mennonite Exchange Network (YAMEN) participants who hail from Latin American countries and are serving in other countries in the same region are seeing differences first-hand.<\/p>\n

YAMEN is a joint program between MCC and Mennonite World Conference, a global community of faith in the Anabaptist tradition. An important part of the program is making connections between Anabaptist churches in different parts of the world.<\/p>\n

YAMEN workers come from countries outside of Canada and the U.S. and do their service work outside of both of those countries.<\/p>\n

Here are the stories of some of the Latin American YAMEN participants:<\/p>\n

\"<\/p>\n

Juan Torrico Soliz \u2013 Bolivian serving in Mexico<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Juan Torrico Soliz, 21, comes from Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia, and is serving in Mexico City as a hospitality assistant at Casa de los Amigos, where he also lives. Prior to moving to Mexico, Soliz studied Tourism and Hotel Management and worked at a daycare.<\/p>\n

One of the biggest shocks for him was moving to a city with 21.2 million people. Greater Mexico City dwarfs his hometown which is home to just over one million people. It was also challenging for him to adjust to a more structured day.<\/p>\n

\u201cLunch here [in Mexico City], depending on where you work, is one to two hours long, but in Bolivia everything would close down at lunch. Here, I\u2019ll eat lunch between 3 and 4 in the afternoon, but at home, I\u2019d eat around 12 or 12:30. The schedule during the day is so different, and it was really hard to get used to,\u201d Soliz said.<\/p>\n

Like the others, he had odd encounters in his mother tongue.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn Mexico, a straw to drink out of a cup is popote, but in Bolivia it\u2019s bombilla, In Mexico bombilla means lightbulb, so it just makes for some funny interactions,\u201d Soliz said with a laugh.<\/p>\n

He is one of the few YAMEN participants who isn\u2019t living with a host family. Still, he says it\u2019s important to seek out people locally to build relationships.<\/p>\n

\u201cEven though I\u2019m not living with a host family, I think it\u2019s important to find a balance between finding support in your host country and talking to family,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\"<\/p>\n

Juliana Arboleda Rivas \u2013 Colombian serving in Bolivia<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Hailing from Quibdo, Choc\u00f3, Colombia, Juliana Arboleda Rivas is serving in Santa Cruz, Bolivia in Stansberry Children\u2019s Home.<\/p>\n

Rivas said pastors in her home community noticed the passion she has for service and encouraged her to do YAMEN.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been a very rich experience. I don\u2019t have words to express the happiness that I feel. Happy happy happy happy,\u201d she said with exuberance.<\/p>\n

\u201cI knew it was going to be different, but I was ready for anything. My name is Juliana, the brave woman ready for challenges.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rivas said she has learned key lessons along the way.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve learned about teamwork, the value of service and the love and dedication you give without expecting things to change,\u201d Rivas said. \u201cI\u2019m happy to get to know people who enrich my life.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"<\/p>\n

Jhon Alex Mart\u00ednez Lozano \u2013 Colombian serving in Nicaragua<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Jhon Alex Mart\u00ednez Lozano comes from the town of Basur\u00fa in Choc\u00f3, Colombia where he worked in a gold mine, volunteered with the Mennonite Brethren church in town, and studied radio journalism. Through YAMEN, he serves as a community assistant with an organization called Podcasts for Peace in Nicaragua\u2019s capital Managua.<\/p>\n

Lozano was concerned his Colombian ethnicity would be a barrier to integrating into the community.<\/p>\n

\u201cBefore coming here I was worried about racism, that maybe there\u2019d be discrimination because I\u2019m Colombian and because Colombia has been vulnerable to drug addiction and trafficking,\u201d he explained. \u201cThere have been a few times where people have talked to me or brought that up, but it hasn\u2019t been bad.\u201d<\/p>\n

In fact, Lozano was warned about working at Podcasts for Peace because of the area\u2019s reputation for crime.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t walk around with fear worrying about who is going to hurt me or rob me because I feel like I\u2019m with family there,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne day I was talking with a family in Acahualinca and I was telling them about it (the public perception of the area) and the family told me that they wouldn\u2019t let anything happen to me, so that helped me feel a lot more secure and safe.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lozano said YAMEN allowed him to explore his faith further and in different ways, and taught him to interact with people he\u2019s never related to before.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy time here in Nicaragua has been a time for God. I\u2019ve learned a lot and I\u2019m going to keep learning,\u201d Lozano said. To learn more about YAMEN, visit mwc-cmm.org\/yamen<\/a>.<\/p>\n
