I honestly have no idea what to expect but I am excited to find out! Last here in Costa Rica I worked at Centro Diba. It's a school for people with mental and physical disabilities. It's interesting to learn about how Costa Rica takes care of their vulnerable populations.
I'll have an update later about the new experience... stay tuned!
So Piotr and I went to Fundación El Futuro es de Todos (our volunteer site) which was 40 minutes away. Not too far at all. When we arrived we were greeted by the students and their parents. Usually the school will have 32 students each day. The classes include computer class, Writing class, painting class, reading class, dancing class and many other normal classes that one would see in any school!
So far on my first day I already got two novios... haha! I think working at this new site will be very rewarding and fun. All the students love to converse and do not seem very shy at all!
Buenas Noches!
