Everybody was working Hard

We had a great morning. We took the kids to the same school last years class painted. This was great because it showed off the good work that the kids did a year ago. The Costa Rican kids are on break but one of the teachers from the school still had kids show up to the school. About 50 kids showed up and were waiting for us when we arrived. When we first arrived we split up into 4 groups and each group went with a group of the local kids to play games. The games were a huge hit. I love how the guys can turn everything in to a competition which made the games fun to watch. We had a soccer game going on also. After about 30 minutes of playing with the kids we were ready for work. We had all the things ready and the FHS Construction Team got their hammers and started building. I was not impressed by the hammer skills at first but by the end of the day they were doing excellent. It was a huge success finishing the project right on time and even having Patrick draw "Donated by FHS" on the recycle bins made for the great group picture. This was the first group that had visited this group since last years FHS class and they were thrilled to have the visitors. Just being in the company of these kids is a great memory for them to take with them for a long time. The locals will surely be talking about the group from New York for awhile. One little girl asked me where the girls that do Step were? After the project we headed to the Organic Farm and had an amazing lunch. We then made our way to the Farm where we took a tour and Don Juan showed us around on a very educational walk.

These projects work best for student groups but if your interested in making this part of a Costa Rica family adventure then we can make it happen.
