Thoughts from Chris Adams '20

It was incredible to see how far we have come in just two days. We've torn down the entire left side of the tree house and started working on the foundation. Looking back on what we've done so far, I can't help but smile knowing that we are really changing this community for the better.

Looking around Monteverde, I can truly see where the phrase "Pura vida!" comes from. Everything is beautiful beyond imagination, and every person is friendly, happy, and kind, including the host families, who are sweet beyond comparison. My short time in Costa Rica has been incredible, and I'm not going to waste what time I have left here. Pura Vida!
