"I liked the easy way of life in another country and the weather was good too. I learned that most kids in the world are the same even if they speak a different language. Every person likes to have fun no matter where they come from. I would love to go back. It was a good way to pratice some of my spanish and meet people from all over the world. One of my favorite moments was being able to help build something that would help people in need. "

"Well I realized I have a love for rain there. I thought it was wonderful how the women of the community made a bank for the town. I think its great how everyone supports each other and helps when needed unlike the city. Costa Rica is one of the most beautiful places I've ever been to. "

This program is definitely a life changing experience and once students realize how it really feels to be in another country, doing new things, a student will definitely be able to see how they are growing, both culturally, mentally and physically.

I loved whenever we had a field trip or excursion.  It was great seeing the beaches, the reef at night that lit up, the eel, everything!
