Our tireless and charismatic Notre Dame Academy students have been working hard on their community service projects and diving deep into the wonderful world of cultural immersion this week! The host community members are blown away by this NDA team’s level of enthusiasm, lightning-quick learning and\u00a0endlessly positive attitudes!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The singing on the worksite is breaking new ground!<\/p>\n

Here’s an update straight from the field:<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

Hey everyone! It’s Ali and Laeticia reporting live from Las Mercedes del Cajon, Costa Rica!\u00a0 <\/span>We are on work day #3 and have already finished painting the inside of the community center. We\u2019re still working on the wall outside and it\u2019s coming along nicely. <\/span><\/p>\n

Today, we\u2019re starting a mural on one of the walls inside the salon to leave our imprint. We can all agree that we\u2019re having an amazing experience and time together. <\/span><\/p>\n

Our host families are so sweet and have made it a priority to make us feel welcome. Every night we go down to the plaza to play futbol and then play cards with the kids in our homestays.\u00a0 <\/span>We all miss our families and can\u2019t wait to see you all, but don\u2019t worry, we\u2019re living the ‘pura vida\u2019 lifestyle here in Costa Rica.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Love always, <\/span><\/p>\n

Your Favorite World Travelers<\/span><\/p>\n
