The second part is in the afternoon when we get to help the children. Between reading, teaching, playing and talking about.. I hope we’re making some great impact in their lives.

I know that they have completely captured my heart and I’m in love with the children of Costa Rica.

Overall… this has been one great experience.. it has changed me, the way I see the world, and my hopes for the future. I know I’ve caught “the bug” and ill be back to volunteer again.

At the end of my program, I left this report for uVolunteer. I hope it helps future volunteers have a good understanding of the uVolunteer program. I've also allowed uVolunteer to give out my email address to those interested in asking me questions about my trip and the uVolunteer program.
