last year i volunteered with world vision in costa rica and they took us around to different villages where they have various projects, completed and ongoing. it was an eye opener. they explained how they use the money that people donate.
i have gone to a couple of meetings here. today the speaker actually spoke slow enough that i understood quite a lot of what he said. one lady i had met at another meeting saw me on the street to ask if i was going to the meeting. and the speaker made sure i knew of the next meeting date. the director of world vision in costa rica told me he couldn't really use me cuz my spanish is so bad so i don't know what i'm doing at the meetings but i'm going.
tuesday i went to a farm to see how they are cross breeding different strains of corn and beans to produce a more nutritious and higher yield crop.
13 of us rode 4 hours each way in a 9 passenger van. i got to see a bit more of costa rica and had a free lunch and it didn't rain so all in all it was a good day.
