An Incredible Time
June 16, 2023by: Sarah Meyers - CanadaProgram: High School Volunteer and Adventure Experience in Costa RicaDuring my recent trip to Costa Rica I had the pleasure of interacting with three of VI's finest. The experience began with a friendly welcome at the airport and the following two weeks were increasingly wonderful. The whole time I felt safe in the country. From first aid assistance to communications in Spanish, all the bases were covered. The first week was a rewarding five days of sweat and smiles. VI ensured everyone was happy and healthy while we worked on the project. The second week... where do I start. The most blissful week I can recall. The activities, people, and sights were incredible. All in all, these two weeks were undoubtedly amazing and life altering. Thank you GVI.
Hi Sarah! Thank you so much for your review! It is so lovely to hear you had such n incredible experience. I'm so pleased that you saw so much and made such great connections. I hope that we see you again in the future! All the best, Tiffany (GVI Outreach Team)
