Our group woke up bright and early to take a short drive to Puerto Jimenez and jump aboard the boat into Golfo Dulce. The environmental club from the school joined us for a morning of boating, snorkeling, swimming and dolphin watching. The ride toward the snorkeling spot provided no dolphin sightings despite all of our eyes on the water. It was okay because we were very grateful for the cooler temperatures in this area of Costa Rica. The time we spent swimming also provided us with a moment to cool off before having lunch and heading back. On the ride back to Puerto Jimenez, we saw plenty of dolphins swimming along side of our boat. The children were so excited and could decide which way to point to tell us where to look! </div>

On our last evening in Dos Brazos del Rio Tigre, the entire community threw up a farewell party for us that included dinner, a refreshing icy dessert (YUM!), lawn games, a DJ, dancing, and a huge community soccer game. It was by far one of the highlights of the trip for many of us because we felt like we formed friendships with so many children and adults in the town. You cannot ask for too much more when you surround yourself with loving people and great food. The evening ended with beating a piñata....it was quite hilarious to watch everyone attempt to hit it while the candy was falling out. The children were so happy, even if Kellen almost hit a few kids! </div>

Our truck was deep in the rainforest and on a dirt road, when suddenly it could not make it up the hill. The driver left the truck to get a signal at the top of the hill to call for another truck, but during this time multiple Costa Ricans stopped by on their motorcycles to offer any help. It wasn't until about 90 minutes later, the correct tools came around and the transmission box was fixed before we were on our way to Puerto Jimenez. </div>

The students were happy as can be on the truck and playing catch on the road. Meanwhile, Javier, Sarah, Hagee and Ribaudo were singing Adele's song "Hello" with lyrics that went like this..."Hello from the rainforest!" Just another day.....Pura Vida.</div>

"I am passionate about helping people because I know everyone will hit a bump one day. I really want to be there for them and hope somebody will help me when I hit my bump. I never give up because I've given up before and I regretted it so much. I owe it to my family who taught me how to deal with things.....I couldn't communicate with many people in Costa Rica, even my homestay mom. Even though we smiled, I was not sure we were connected, but when we were playing games, I felt like we were closer than ever...it may have been the spirit of sports or the laughs we shared...but at the end, I felt like we were no longer strangers." - Kelly</div>

"I've always wanted to run my own publishing company and make a magazine much like National Geographic.

"I learned the dedication it takes to gain appealing rewards. When I first got to Costa Rica, I did not believe that I could survive 10 days in this heat. I learned that despite our bodies constantly sweating and becoming tired, mental state overpowers physicality. With a strong mind, you can overcome many obstacles even if it seems impossible. Although it is far from easy to maintain a strong mental state, this trip helped!" - Kellen</div>

final flight of our journey. A journey
that started one day when Mr. Maher gave me the contact information of a woman
named Erin from World Leadership School just before the year started. Emails led to phone calls, which led to
Skyping, which led to information sessions at school with parents and Mrs.
Hagee, figuring out who was going, getting everyone ready, preparing for takeoff
and now….it is all over. I’d be lying if
I said I knew what this trip was going to be like. I knew we were going to Costa Rica and we
would be the first school group to visit Dos Brazos del Rio Tigre. There were a
lot of unknowns, there were a lot of changes in the itinerary, and there were a
lot of emails but even then, I wasn’t sure what to expect.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

taking groups of students on service trips to Africa and Nicaragua. The trips she took were well over a decade
ago, but she still talks fondly about them like they were yesterday. I have brought kids to many places, but never
to a developing country. Regardless of how this trip was going to be, I knew,
like Isabel’s tales, I would be telling stories and sharing memories well after
we touched down at LAX.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

<li>Step out of your comfort zone once in a
while.</li>
<li>Open yourself to new cultures and traditions. </li>
<li>Go to places you’ve never been and take in as much as you
can. </li>
<li>Skip the nap…sleep is overrated.</li>
<li>Play more card games, less video games.</li>
<li>Communicate with the locals; hand gestures can get you far
and they know the good places to eat. </li>
<li>Get up to watch the sun rise; I’ve never heard anyone regret
this decision. </li>
<li>Eat local food everywhere you go.</li>
<li>Play with children; they keep you young. </li>
<li>Listen to the stories people have to tell; they are far more
fascinating than anything I’ve ever read or watched on a screen.</li>
<li>Find your inner Javier and Sarita, and then strive to be
ambassadors of the globe, fight for a cause and protect your land. We were all inspired by these two; keep their
messages alive while you continue your journey through life. </li>

flying on small planes, bugs, darkness, the unknown, really big bugs, trying
new foods and getting to know new people. You have set the bar high for your classmates who will want to go on
this trip next year. Be the leaders you
are and show them the way.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
After spending a day in Dos Brazos del Rio Tigre demolishing the old classroom, we woke up ready to meet the children of this village. We spent the morning going through the gifts we had brought, dividing them by age group. When we arrived, they were so grateful for all of the RHP/Ren t-shirts, key rings, toys, soccer balls, Beanie Babies and sunglasses we brought from the states. We almost wished we brought more. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
After presenting the gifts, we went outside to play all sorts of games...soccer (futbol), frisbee, and duck duck goose (pato, pato, ganso!). It was clear the kids were having a blast playing all of these games and taking selfies with all of our cameras. The heat and drizzling rain did not stop anyone from having fun on this day. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We often complain about the AC not working at school, it being too hot outside, or not wanting to run around outside for PE...but on this day, none of that mattered. The language barrier was also nonexistent for these few hours because fun is a universal language. Students from both schools and their teachers were having having a blast. We almost did not want to stop for lunch with our host moms!</div>

Peter spent a lot of time writing in his journal each night in his native language. While many of us were not able to read it, he shared many of his sketches from different episodes that occurred throughout the trip. They are quite amusing! Thank you for sharing your journal with our community Peter!</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-fareast-language: ZH-CN;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-fareast-language: ZH-CN;">Yesterday was our
last day of activity, and we had an opportunity to go on a hike to the beach, to
check if there are any sea turtles eggs. It was a voluntarily activity because
people who signed up needed to wake up at 4am. Well, for the spirit of leaving
no regret, I signed up for the hike. Thinking how great it’s going to be, I
went on the hike well prepared, then after ten minuets of hiking, I got lost.
This story tells us that no matter how careful you are, bad things happen.
Anyway, I was lucky, why? Because I was not the only one who got lost, a girl
on my team (Angie) and I got lost together, true friends. After 10 mins of
waiting, our instructor Javier came back for us, so we were fine and this part
of the story tells us how important to choose a strong teammate to carry you…<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-fareast-language: ZH-CN;">When we caught up
to the group, they had already found a sea turtle nest, and we formed a line to
take those eggs out. I was a little afraid because I had never held onto
something fragile, so the moment I touched one of the turtle eggs, I freak out,
because the shell was soft. Automatically, I thought I broke it, but later I
found out that sea turtle eggs suppose to be soft…Thank God. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-fareast-language: ZH-CN;">So after the hike,
we went back to the dorm, showered, played cards, ate lunch at the station,
then headed to the next hotel which was near the airport. We were so excited
about leaving because the location of that hotel represented that we were going
to go home for real. We didn’t have to stay in Costa Rica for the rest of our
life. So we had a great time on the bus, when I thought there’s nothing going
to go wrong, our bus broke down… yeah!</span><br />
<span style="mso-fareast-language: ZH-CN;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-fareast-language: ZH-CN;">After almost 2
hours of waiting, we finally hit the road again.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Afterwards, we settled in the hotel, we went
out for ice cream, then visited some stores, and carried all those snacks I
bought. I slept happily; even the bugs on my bed seemed adorable. The next
morning, I packed up, ready for the journey back to home…I thought, “well there
would be no accidents at all,” then the plane hit some huge winds in the sky. The
airplane went up and down, also did some weird dance moves. Well…how awesome?</span><br />
<span style="mso-fareast-language: ZH-CN;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-fareast-language: ZH-CN;">Got off the plane,
I swore if there’s one more accident, then I’m going to stay in Costa Rica
forever, it’s fate! Lucky for me, later on, there’s no more surprises and we
all arrived safely.</span><br />
<br />
This trip was a
challenge for all of us, nobody will tell their parents that we had the most
comfortable vacation and luxurious service, because, well…we didn’t. But these
ten days would definitely be something that we won’t forget. We learned,
played, laughed together and we got to know each other better. Also, we all
stepped out of our comfort zone. It’s a great opportunity for us all and even
though we got sick, we cried, we struggled, and we were kind embarrassed on
this trip as well, I still love it, and I hope the others enjoyed their journey
as well.</div>

This morning, a majority of the students woke up at 4:00am to go on a hike through the rain forest and onto the beach with three local researchers that study the sea turtles at Piro Biological Research Center. We were able to see turtle tracks and even found a nest that had been attacked by predators leaving only egg shells behind. To our surprise, we found a nest with 101 eggs! Finally we relocated all of the eggs to a place that would be safe from predators until the little turtles hatched! This was well worth the early wake up! <div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-fareast-language: ZH-CN;">Today was a sunny
day, and the usual, hot burning sun hung on top of the clear and pollution-free
sky. As a regular day at the research center, we woke up at 6:15, and then I
took a shower. We went to the Lab House and learned about some great cats that
are living in this area. The volunteer there made a great deal of how a cat
called jaguar is endangered. We entered the forest and started the Camera Trap
hunting trip. We were supposed to find four Camera Traps, which take either
videos or pictures of moving things in front of it, and to do that we hiked for
a long time in the forest. When coming to the checking process of the disks
that we pulled out of the Camera Traps, we found something surprising. Guess
what, we found a Dotted Leopard (Jaguar)! According to the station workers,
they haven’t found any Jaguars in the area for 2 years. FOR 2 YEARS! I think we
deserved to be recorded into the history of this research station. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-fareast-language: ZH-CN;">That was probably
one of the most exciting mornings I have ever had in Costa Rica so far, but
then we had the worst afternoon I had spent here. To be short, we just hiked to
the beach and crossed a river on the way. When we got to the beach, the leading
guy showed us a chessboard like thing and we came back. We found all of our
shoes were covered with wet sand after we came back, and I wondered why he
couldn’t just show us that weird board at the base. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

during this trip so far. I learned to appreciate all the nice things I have
back in my house when I visited the countryside. I also learned that diligence
can change even big things even like poverty because I think people are kind of
lazy. I learned the environment around us is so fragile, and it should be
protected during the study at the research center. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="mso-fareast-language: ZH-CN;">Today for breakfast
we had pancakes and fruit, which was nice because I’m over having rice and
beans with almost every meal this trip. After breakfast we separated into two
groups and shifted between looking at the sea turtle program that the research
station has to offer and hiking to the video camera traps the facility set up
in the jungle. In the morning my group and I headed up to the beach through the
jungle, which was about a twenty-minute hike. The walk on the beach was so beautiful
it looked unreal, the way the jungle and the beach met and the fog hung right
over some of the trees while the waves crashing in the background left me
breathless. We trudged through dark sand that was so dark because the sand was
made from rocks not shells, according to Sara (our guide). Once we arrived at
the hatchery, Manuel explained to us that the research center created the
hatching station for the turtles to try and preserve them from not only
predators and people but from the mother turtles laying their eggs in the wrong
location as well. He went on about how they place the nests in a sort of
checkered pattern that has spaces between nests so, that if one nest is
infected by fungi or other things the other nests wouldn't since they aren’t
right next to each other. After he explained this and a few other things about
the sea turtles we headed back to the research site to have lunch. We ate rice
and beans and chicken (no surprise). With some free time on our hands we played
an intense game of cards- like we do every day. Then as our free time was up we
headed to the lab and we were shown a presentation about different cats and
wildlife in the jungle. We were shown footage that was caught of many animals
by the motion-censored cameras that is set up in the jungle. After the slide
show we hiked through the forest again. We hiked through the river and
throughout the hike we saw a few cool birds, some spider monkeys in the trees,
and an anteater in a tree as well. Finally, as we arrived at the camera we were
to take footage from we discovered the camera was out of battery. Hoping that
there were still videos of animals on the camera, we took the sim card from the
camera and replaced it with the new one after we changed the batteries. We
hiked back to the site to look if there were any videos. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="mso-fareast-language: ZH-CN;">This trip I enjoyed
the fact that I stepped out of my comfort zone a lot. My favorite thing was
being able to have a “mom” on this trip. Although she didn't speak any English
whatsoever, I had to communicate with the little Spanish that I knew. I was
surprised with the amount of Spanish I talked with her and that I could semi
carry on a conversation even though it was very difficult. I loved her son
Jordan, although he could be crazy at times. He always put a smile on my face.
He would ramble on and on in Spanish not giving me a chance to answer him at
all, which made things easier in a way. I didn't really have to talk even
though he thought I knew everything he was saying because I would nod and laugh
at him. I loved meeting all these people and children and experiencing the life
they lived and seeing the world through their eyes for a short amount of time.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

learned that I need to appreciate things more, even if it’s just the small
things. Staying in Dos Brazos del Rio Tigre made me realize that not everyone
has life as good as I do. Happiness is not about where you live or how much
money you have, its about the people who you are surrounded by.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Although this town didn't have much they all
seemed so happy and it made me happy. I noticed the small things, whether it
was the 10 kids that came snorkeling with and us all splitting the leftover
sandwiches we gave them; the way the women all would help each other carry
things when we hiked to the river the one day; how our hiking guide stopped to
help men in the river mine for gold; the way the whole village surrounded the
soccer field watching the friendly match of fútbol going on. It all made me
think that this is how life should really be: everyone being happy and
appreciating each other no matter the amount of money or the area they live.
Although it's a cliché learning experience I still believe it’s true.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="mso-fareast-language: ZH-CN;">I love and miss you
guys so much, the house is probably very quite without me and you can only
enjoy that for about three more days. In the past 10 days I have twisted my
ankle 2 times on each foot, gotten a dozen mosquito bites and some other things
have happened to me but I’m going to save those stories for once I get home
along with the 4 billion other things you are going to hear about my adventure
I’ve had here. Mama, I really miss you cooking for me every night…so the one
thing I ask for once I come home is to have some really good dinner…..preferably
sushi but I mean if you aren’t down to make it we can always go out. Dad, I
miss you driving around with me in Margarita so once I get out of the airport I
would love if you could pick me up in her. Scarlett, our room better be clean
once I come home and if lake is over make sure he’s not too annoying once I get
home. Ava I hope your being just as loud as me so the house isn’t too quite.
Lucas, I don't have anything to tell you other then the fact that you are my
favorite brother and I miss you even though you bug me sometimes. Once again I
cant tell you guys how much I miss you and I cat wait to come home and see you.
Much love and don’t miss me too much.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="mso-fareast-language: ZH-CN;">Today for breakfast
I had rice, beans, bread, and cheese. Having rice and beans for the past couple
days is fine by me. All the meals have been delicious so far. After breakfast
Amy, the other leader of the day, split our group into two separate groups. The
“1’s” were the group to go to the river first to do a water study of the Piro
River and the “2’s” were the group who got to do a team activity, which
consisted of making a contraption that will protect an egg from a certain height
when dropped. After going to the river and testing the water, we had an hour of
downtime….then came lunch and then we built a structure that protected the egg for
a small drop. After our eggs got semi smashed, we jumped rope until it got dark
and went to dinner. While the food was settling in to our bellies, we wrote in
our journal about what our life story was. ANCHOR was the last activity of the
day that is a summary of what everyone thought of the day into one group
discussion. After a long day of fun activities everyone goes to sleep at 9:00pm.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Today (Day 7) after
breakfast, the children from Dos Brazos Del Rio Tigre came to the research
center to surprise us. Everyone was delighted to see the children again and
have them stay for the rest of the afternoon. First we watched a presentation
about the Osa Peninsula’s water shed and about what the researchers study here
in Piro, Costa Rica. Then we were paired up with a child from the village to
collect various insects and water-dwelling invertebrates at the river. We also
tested the river water for nitrates, dissolved oxygen levels, pH, and alkalinity
with the researchers’ special equipment. Later, we divided into two groups and
tackled a team jump roping challenge. We struggled to push past level two, in
which one person had to jump continuously, the other teammates had to jump at
least once, and no one could make a mistake. Although it was tough to get
conflicting personalities to agree and work together, we succeeded by listening
to each other’s perspectives, being open to trying ideas, remaining calm, and
being considerate of our teammates’ feelings. After dinner we faced another
challenge: getting through dinner, anchor, and preparing for bed without
electricity. As a nice ending to another beautiful day in Costa Rica, we all
listened to Javier and Sarah tell their life stories, perspectives on the
present, and future aspirations. Then we wrote our own stories, which are far
from finished. As a side note, during the night we heard howler monkeys and it
was really scary.</span></div>

Half of the group spent the morning on a small river testing the water for pH, turbidity, temperature, conductivity, etc and then we looked for invertebrates that live along the river. The special treat of the day was that the children from the environmental club at Dos Brazos del Tigre also joined us for the day. It was so nice to be reunited with the kids from the community! <div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

It has been a blast and quite the change in pace from our last destination. </div>

<span style="mso-fareast-language: ZH-CN;">Today on the RHP/Ren
Costa Rican spring break trip we had to wake up at 5 in the morning to catch a
truck for a two-hour ride to the Pacific Ocean side of the peninsula for our
next half of the trip. When we arrived at the Piro Research Station, we ate
breakfast and then went on an about two-hour hike through the jungle. After the
hike we ate lunch and then had a three-hour break until our next hike to the
ocean. When we arrived at the beach we got to explore around the rocks where
the water hit and where all the tide pools were. At the beach it was the most
magnificent scenery ever. The beautiful ocean view in front of us, the sun
sparklingly off the water, and the palm trees behind us all looked like a
painting. It was surreal. The best part about today was being able to see a ton
of monkeys in the trees of the research center. It was really unique because we
don’t have monkeys in California, besides the zoo, but that doesn’t count. The
monkeys here in the trees at the research center were face to face with us
minding there own business. We got to see a very small snip it of how they live
and what they eat. The most interesting thing that I have learned on this trip
and really stood out to me, was that Costa Rica has very large biodiversity. I have
really enjoyed this entire trip, but my favorite part was probably being able
to hang out with all my friends and hanging out with the people in Dos Brazos
del Tigre and becoming really close with the community. And mom and dad I miss
you guys a lot. Hope you are having fun in Hawaii, and I can’t wait to tell you
guys all about Costa Rica when I get home.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

<span style="mso-fareast-language: ZH-CN;">Today we got up
very early around (5:30 am) because we have to go another place; everyone was
very tired. I really enjoyed the days spent in the little village and helped
them build another classroom. We all tried our best to help them with building
the school.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We really want the students
there to have a better environment to study. The new location we arrived to is
much better; with bigger rooms, nicer food and better environment. We were walked
around the jungles just after we arrived; we saw some monkeys and learn about
trees.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then we had a three-hour period
of rest. After that we spent the afternoon by sea. On our way to the beach, we
saw someone suddenly stop and look at trees.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We found some funny little monkeys on the trees staring at us, and we
walked quietly in order to have a better view. I enjoyed the sea most because I
grow up in a city which is located near the sea; the sounds made by sea waves
calm me down, the beautiful blue sky and sunset inspires me….it is really
unexplainable. All the things I saw and felt at the beach just made me
energetic again just like being reborn. I forget about all my worries. Everyone
enjoyed it, we ate coconuts, and took group pictures. This has been the most
wonderful and happiest day of the trip so far and I am the team leader. I slept
on a big rock at the beach, singing a famous song from my hometown and I recall
the amazing memories spent with my father and mother, just like they here with
me. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="mso-fareast-language: ZH-CN;">What I have learned
from the trip is that I have to get used to cooperating with others and
communicating with the local people even though we have the different languages.
Regardless, I still can feel their enthusiasm and the hope to have a better
school one day. The most valuable lesson that I learned is that I have become
more tough.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Though the temperature is so
hot and wet, I am realizing what life without a cellphone feels like. I am
realizing that life has so much to offer beyond hanging out in a single room
playing games the whole day. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Dear Mom and Dad,<br />
<br />
This is Javier and Sara....they are our World Leadership School guides. They make sure we are safe, hydrated, sunscreened, bug sprayed and having a good time no matter how hot it gets here. They have taught us so much about Costa Rican culture, as well as interesting facts about the land. They can get silly at times and we have had a great time so far with them! <br />
<br />
Love,<br />
Us</div>
