Can´t actually believe 8 weeks of volunteer work and Spanish lessons are finally over..
A mixture of sadness ....but bottled with excitement as I begin my adventures in Antigua, Guatemala, followed by Ometepe , Nicaragua....then.. ..Panama and finally meeting up with Shuba in Lima Airport, Peru on November 22nd....phew...needed to catch my breath....hehehehe.....
As I reflect on the past 8 weeks.... the moments that seem to stand out are...
The laughter in Spanish classes as we attempt to impress Tedy, our teacher, with our Spanglish...
The shock of realising we can actually consult in Spanish..... yeah!!!!!!
The heartache as we visit patients in unbearable conditions of poverty...
The frustration as we try to rescue a patient from elderly abuse..
The warmth of the sisters of Mother Theresa....
The permanent smile of Amelia, at 94, standing proudly outside her home...a garage...
The laughter of Juan, the pastor, as he continues to uplift the mood of the dying...
The strength of Nick Vijicic ( www.attitudeisaltitude.com ) as we realise each and every moment of his life is a constant challenge...
The realisation of how blessed we are and how many opportunities and choices we have....
The pleasure of meeting students and volunteers from around the world...
The excitement of having friends in many cities........
Hasta luego Costa Rica......
