Pura Vida 2009

Pura Vida desde Costa Rica!

This is the singing-est group, we get nonstop entertainment on our journeys. Our trip, thus far, has been awesome. The visits at the orphanage and the school have affected the seniors to their core. They came away with the sense of contentment and accomplishment from their interactions with the children. They freely and whole-heartedly shared their love and talents, and when they shared their thoughts in the evening connections they expressed how humbled and grateful they were by these experiences. We have been reminded that sometimes what matters most is sharing some time and showing someone you care, language barrier and all. Today we went to the beach where once again fears were faced. There has been so much growing and self-discovery, as well as unity, that it has been truly touching for us to watch and share. This trip is everything we hoped it would be and I am extremely proud of them all.  Know that when we return, we return changed in our cores. We have had a spiritual journey and we won’t forget.
