Our Team Is Growing...


Since my favorite place to volunteer is Costa Rica is the orphanage, I'd like to share more about what we'll find there beside children. This year we will be also greeted by 3 dogs. The new director believes that the pets are good for the children. When we were there in 2008, we were able to meet one of two. I can't remember this dog's name but he followed the kids everywhere, loved to play fetch, and seemed to know his way around. We'll want to enjoy the dogs too but let the children direct how you interact with them.
The weekend we have added 3 new team members. We now have 19 youth and adults preparing to go to Costa Rica. From the Brimfield UMC there are 10 team members (7 youth and 3 adults) and from the Valparaiso 1st UMC there are 9 members (2 youth and 7 adults). We can have more people join the team, the only hitch at this time is getting seats on the airline.
Do you have any idea how many people live in the San Jose area? Do you know the population of Costa Rica? What countries border Costa Rica? One day you may have a quiz so see if you can find the answers....and remember them!
