Day 3: Exploring Conservation

Holaaaa familias y amigos!

Today, we had the pleasure of being Liders del Dia for Day 3: Exploring Conservation. Students started the day with a yummy breakfast of french toast, huevos, y jugo. We then finished watching the documentary “Kiss the Ground” and after, we got their minds working before our guest speaker, with a mental warm-up. Our guest speaker Karla spoke to the students about the effects of tourism and the biodiversity of Costa Rica. The seminar was interactive for the students as they got to try mamón chino (rambutan) when participating in the discussion. The students learned about helpful and efficient ways in which they can practice conservation and be more sustainable in their daily lives and environment.

After an insightful seminar students had lunch and enjoyed some free time playing card games, snacking in the kitchen, and relaxing in the hammocks before we headed to the park and played a fun game of futbol! After returning from the park, students had some downtime and most spent that time swimming in the pool, playing their version of “water football” or (kind of) water polo.

We ate a delicious dinner of arroz con pollo we concluded with our nightly meeting, recapping and sharing roses and thorns of the day. Finally, we signed off our roles as Leaders of the Day and passed the torch to our first student leaders, Juan and Eric. Stay tuned!

Big Love,

Jeske and Tyan
