I can hardly believe that my last day in Peru - and hence, my last blog post - was just over 2 years ago. Not a day has gone by that I haven't thought of the folks in Peru, both fellow volunteers as well as the children I worked with. My time in Peru was some of the greatest I have ever had, and it has been my dream ever since then to return to international volunteering.
Well, I have some good news... This December, I will do just that. I am off on another adventure. I will be volunteering in Cartago, Costa Rica for 2 weeks. The specifics of my assignment are still up in the air and will be given to me shortly. However, no matter what I will be doing, I will be ready to get my hands dirty and effect change, even if just a little bit. As "my" saying goes, "Every little bit helps." And as the much wiser Mother Teresa once said, "We ourselves feel that what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean. But the ocean would be less because of that missing drop."
And that isn't all. I am most happy and proud that I will not experience this adventure alone. My sister, Chelsea, will be joining me for a week during her Christmas break. I am so honored to have her come with me, and I can only hope that she has as life-changing an experience as I had last time!
More details to come...
