Day 10 – Final Reflection
Student Trip Blog
We landed in San Jose, Costa Rica, on Monday, August 10th. After a three-hour drive up, down, and up into the mountains. Students hit the ground running and settled into our home for the next 10 days. After we got settled, students began leadership training to become leaders throughout the trip – and beyond.
Today, students delved into identifying which leadership styles they possess and will prepare to strenghen them throughout the journey. Then it was off for a walk into town and a ride on public transportation, up the mountains to a coffee farm.
Students toured a family farm operation and learned about the complexities of coffee cultivation, harvesting, and the economics behind the drink we might take for granted. The content learned can help students serve as stewards of conscious consumerism back home.
After the tour, students hung out and had some coffee with the family.
As the night closed, students took over running the show and organizing our groups for tomorrow’s community action project; we will meet some local families and learn how to make tortillas and empanadas. More to follow… from students.
