Day 10 – Final Reflection
Student Trip Blog
Today we woke up to sunny skies in Turrialba at around 6:30AM. We got ready to start a new CAP project for today and continue our old one from Day 5. We decided to split into two groups to help us conquer the day! For Group 1 they headed to a local school named Santa Rosa Elementary School. While Group 2 continued painting the fences and walls at Asada, which is responsible for water in Turrialba. Prior to that Diego made us an amazing breakfast, we had French Toast, Eggs, and Fruits. We then headed off to our CAP sites where we worked hard until 12 PM. The second group then headed to the elementary school where we enjoyed a meal of Rice, Beans, and Salad. After we ate plans had changed and Group 1 decided to follow Group 2 to paint the walls at Asada and help them finish off the job. After a long days at work we decided to write meaningful letters to those who supported this program and made our dreams come true. For dinner at the accommodation, we enjoyed Nachos which consisted of Chips, Black Beans, Beef, Corn, and Pico de Gallo. Finally, we ended the night with our daily nightly meeting, leading to a new day with new leaders.

Dear Sanaa,
Blink twice if you’re being held captive against your will. No one is this happy about doing work. If that’s all true, then you’re definitely painting the fence this year. Call it the Bay Ridge Action Project and rope in your buddy while you’re at it. In fact, all glimpses are welcome, I’m Diego, but I’ll make you something decent. Plus slushies!
In all seriousness, this blog is the highlight of my day, every day. Keep it up!
Abu Sanaa
Also, great job Elise on your AP scores!!! Way to go!

To our world Traveler Isaiah,
I hope you’re having the most amazing time in Costa Rica! Enjoy every moment, embrace every adventure, and keep being the wonderful, kind, and amazing young man you are. You make me proud every single day, and I know you’re representing our family well wherever you go.
But to be honest…home just isn’t the same without you. We miss your presence more than you know. Even “Luxx” miss you! Counting down the days until you’re back!
Have fun, make incredible memories, try new things, and enjoy every second of this once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Come home safely with lots of stories, plenty of pictures, and maybe a little Costa Rican souvenir (MY MAGNET) LOL Most of all, come home knowing how deeply you’re loved and how incredibly proud we are of you.
Love you so much and can’t wait to see you soon
Love always,
Keisha ❤️

Hey Skye!! Jokes over you can come on back now!! Just kidding, but seriously missing you. The work your doing with glimpse looks awesome and if you ever lose motivation remember that you are making an impact. That’s more than you can say for me, typing this like I haven’t been in bed all day.
Lots of love,

Karen
Hi Queen! It was so good to see you on video today. I can’t believe you’ve already been gone for a week. This trip has made me miss you more than I expected. Seeing you out there exploring the world makes me so proud, but it’s also a reminder that you’re not my little baby anymore.
I will forever be grateful that you had the opportunity to experience such an amazing country, enjoy the incredible food, and meet so many wonderful people. These are memories you’ll carry with you for the rest of your life, and I’m so happy you’ve had this experience.
