My time at the project in Playa Matapalo was one to remember for a lifetime. I spent three short weeks right on the beach submerging myself not only in the warm ocean water, but local culture, great food, and love! The friendships and memories made here are now a cornerstone for me. I can sit here and write a book about the good that I encountered and took back home with me.

I loved my time at the project! Kerri was so accommodating and truly just wanted me to have the best experience possible in the project. When traveling through the country she helped me every step of the way and wanted to make sure I got where I needed to go safely. the project was right on the beach so we also got to go to the beach every day. They treated us like family and made my stay in the project so special, I absolutely would come back!
