Pura Vida Mae!
On our final day at Linda Vista, we wrapped up the projects that we’ve been working on for the last week. Yesterday we got together as a group and reflected on the impact we’ve made on the local community. Randall brought back the four pillars of World Leadership School: investigating the world, recognizing perspectives, communicating ideas, and taking action and asked us to connect them to the three projects.
At Daniel’s farm, people reflected on the gratitude that he expressed to each of our groups and how something as small as painting a house can have a huge impact on a person. At the women’s co-op, each person we helped had their own unique story and goal which allowed us to recognize their different perspectives. Finally, at the elementary school, the students showed eagerness to learn English and even though the school lacks the resources for a fully developed English program, we all saw the potential of each student and the school as a whole. Overall, we have all grown as individual people and as a group with the different conversations and experiences we’ve had over the past couple weeks.
Today we returned to the projects for a final day at the school and to help the farm and the co-op with their social media pages so they can reach more visitors like us to come experience their projects. Tonight we celebrate our time with the homestays at a party with all the families and delicious food. We’ll update you tomorrow!
Tuanis Mae!
