Jeff arrived in San Ramon, Costa Rica this weekend and is volunteering teaching physical education. Our local coordinator, Camilo, accompanied Jeff on his first day volunteering at Belen School. Camilo introduced Jeff to the teachers and staff he will be working with and joined in a soccer game with the students.
Here is Camilo’s full report from the day:
uVolunteer Allison has been working with special needs adults at a school just outside San Ramon. She shares her experience of a Special Olympics event held for her students.
On the 6 October, 2009 students of a school for adults with special needs in the small town of San Isidro outside San Ramon, participated in the Olimpadas Especiales 2009.
It was an early departure from San Ramon for Alajuela, where the track events were held. Students were accompanied by professoras Cynthia and Marita, uVolunteer Allison, coach Huberth and family members. Excitement mounted during the beautifully scenic bus journey. Students previously had a few training sessions with their enthusiastic coach Huberth, with naturalsporting prowess clearly evident in some of the competitors.
Despite competing against each other, in the spirit of Pura Vida, the harmony amongst the students did not change. Each encouraged the other to reach the finish line, while the sun shone brilliantly for everyone.
