Hi. We`ve been having a great time. Today on Tuesday we had our service proect with the students of the Sandbox School. The students helped us plant trees at a nearby river bank. Sometimes the river floods and can reach the school grounds. To help we all planted trees. The roots will mesh together to eliminate bad flooding. There were two groups working. One was closer to the river and another was further back. I was in the group farther away from the river. In our group we had five students and five eco club members. We were each partnered up with a student. We practiced our spanish and really got to bond and get to know the students. The weather was hot and there wasn`t much shade but we made it through the hard part and then back to the school ground for lunch. Roberto, our guide turned into a chef to make a great lunch. After, we gave our school supplies to the stidents and got to play around with them. Some kids kicked around a soccer ball, others played with a football and some used a frisbee. I think we all had fun getting to know and helping the kids of the school. I have had a great time so far and can`t wait for friday to get home.
From,
Sarah
Sarah,
ReplyDeleteIt was so nice of you and the eco-club to help those students in Costa Rica plant trees by the river to protect the school. That is something that will have a lasting effect on their environment. Great work!
