Costa Rica
Students live in the city of Palmares, a small to city outside San Isidro with a few small grocery stores, a bakery, health clinic, plus a "soda" or small luncheonette. Here you may work with local children running day camp activities and you may also provide community support through painting and small repair projects. Individual internships may also be arranged for each student a couple times each week.
"...It was honestly the most rewarding experience I"ve lived so far... I feel I've gained an abundance of knowledge, social skills and awareness. This was such a rich experience it's hard to put into words! Most definitely a ride that I cant wait to get back on! Next stop Ecuador!!" -- Sophie Tabet, London, UK
