During the day, we will serve in many ways, from work projects at local schools and community partners to different opportunities in the San Juan, San Ramón area. We serve wherever our local partners need us. More details will be available as we approach your arrival date.
During the evenings, we will have debriefing gatherings and have the opportunity for a soccer game, a trip into town, or to a local waterfall, butterfly garden, or farm.
Groups work together or split up depending on the number of work projects during your stay.
Safety is our top priority!
