Our second trip to Costa Rica is rapidly approaching! Eight students and two teachers (Ms. I. Romero and Ms. M. Skrutkowska) will be leaving for Costa Rica on February 26th, 2010 and returning ten days later on March 6th, 2010. We will be spending March break living with Costa Rican families, going to Spanish school 3 hours a day, and doing volunteer work such as visiting an orphanage and helping out, planting coffee trees on a cooperative coffee plantation and painting a house for an underprivileged family. We are also collecting and bringing shoes for small children to donate to the orphanage. Of course, there will be a little tourism - two days at the beach, as well as visiting local sites such as the rainforest and a volcano. It's very exciting! We're looking forward to our departure.
