The whole experience was wonderful. I left the country and my site with good feelings and what started out as a chance to volunteer somewhere with my daughter turned out to be a way to experience Costa Rica in a more meaningful way then if I went as a tourist." A. Tomovich ~ Costa Rica 2011
It completely amazed me how such a small group of people of different backgrounds and languages can accomplish so much in such a short period of time. The workcamp served its purpose and even went beyond. We all came out of it with a new appreciation for the environment, Costa Rica, and each other. In the end we formed new friendships, memories, a bond to Costa Rica, and a passion to help the world. Its really nice to know that we took the first steps toward a future for the ecological center, where all peoples can one day appreciate the natural world and learn from it as we did. This experience changed my life and I will never forget it." M. Lee ~ Costa Rica 2004
