WAG member Scott Batson brings a different group of Americans for a weeklong trip to Nicaragua every month. There, they teach locals functional fitness through CrossFit workouts and use this as a vehicle to make relationships with the community. Watch as they give back in the best way they can, providing the people of Nicaragua with leadership and life skills, which are needed far more than materialistic goods.
