Teaching English

After finishing a lesson, a mother of one of the students came up to me and the other teacher and gave us both big hugs and said thank you. On the last day of teaching, my students made us lunch and celebrated the progress they made throughout the two weeks. The semester of Spanish knowledge I have and would use to communicate just made people smile and say, "que linda" and help me work through the sentence. The people of Costa Rica are so kind and caring. The students I had the pleasure to work with value the time you put in and give it back to you by putting in lots of effort. The staff at Maximo Nivel were so supportive and amazing. They are so welcoming and they really care about the volunteers and the projects which they are affiliated with. Safety is important to them and they play an active role in your volunteer experience by accompanying you sometimes to the volunteer placement. They embody Pura Vida.
