Program Volunteer Costa Rica
Project: Volunteer in the Daycare Center in Costa Rica
The high-light of this trip was mainly my host family. They brought me extreme warmth and comfort each time I felt home sick. I hope to come back one day and visit. During my trip in Costa Rica I consider myself very lucky.
My reason why was because, I felt blessed by the people that where there to assist me, Like Suri, Fiorella and Meaw, as my coordinators, they where the most helpful people I have ever met from any program I have attended. Every time I needed something they would be more than happy to assist me.
It was worth it to see the children's smiling faces.
The actions that caught my attention where the efforts the coordinators gave for the volunteers to make sure they met their needs and wants. For example Suri, met a small group of break dancers. He was thoughtful enough inform the guys about myself, and suggested that they should meet up with me and practice sometime. That way I would spend my free time doing something productive instead of sleeping and waiting for the weekend, It was very generous of him. He also made sure that the Uvolunteers where happy at their placement he would come visit us at our placements. On my arrival in Costa Rica I was placed in the incorrect job placement. I made sure Suri was aware of the misunderstanding, so he informed Meaw about the situation and she responded quickly and switched my placement over to a small orphanage known as Hogarcito. The job was more challenging, but it was worth it to see the children's smiling faces. Fiorella grabbed my attention when she invited me and Ekta to have either dinner or go dancing, for our first Saturday night in San Ramon. Through out my whole stay she would always invite the volunteers to her university parties and more.
Above all uVolunteer was truly a helping hand. I would recommend this program to others, but just make sure that the volunteers know what they want and are willing to work hard for it.
