Costa Rica Day 7 Recollection Today was one of the most testy days on the trip. It all started with Scrambled eggs with sausage, toast, and tamarin juice which was gobbled down very quickly by all of us. We then loaded the bus and headed to the orphanage which took 15 minutes.

With that said we were again whisked away from the house to start our final day at the Nutritional Centre. Once there, we were...

A Message from one of Kamrin's teachers, Jean Porter: Today we went to the Nutrition Centre and painted the outside of the building.
