Jaylyn Dana Jenks, Summer 2016 Participant
My favorite part was getting to go abroad with a group of people I didn't know and have new experiences with them. It was awesome learning about an education in another country. It was amazing to go to different schools and meet students from Costa Rica.

Belicia Mariann Wilcoxen, Summer 2019 Participant
Some elements I found most rewarding are one, getting to know students. In each school that we went to we got to engage with students in some way, playing soccer, reading, playing or talking with them. Building that bond between the students and I was unbelievable. The questions they asked us were so meaningful. Another element I found rewarding was being apart of something bigger. I enjoyed how I was able to make a tiny difference in those childs lives by just being there and talking with them.

My favorite part of this program was getting to interact with the local children in the schools. Even though we had a language barrier, it did not stop us from playing together.
