January 12 – Arriving in Sierpe

Published by

Today we woke up early to have one last breakfast with our host families in Boruca, Costa Rica. We left for Sierpe directly after breakfast. On our way to Sierpe we stopped at a palm oil field and learned about palm oil production and its social justice and environmental impacts. After a short time driving, we arrived at Dona Magda’s restaurant in Sierpe. We unloaded our things and took a quick walk around town before meeting our wonderful host families. I am living with a very kind couple whose house is only a short walk away from the restaurant. We settled in and unpacked our things, then met back at Dona Magda’s restaurant for lunch. We had a delicious lunch of chicken, vegetables, plantain chips, and Gallo pinto.

After lunch, we met with our service project groups to plan out our projects. I am in the chicken group, so we went over our plan for the construction of a chicken pen and discussed changes that need to be made. We will be completing the project in Campanario, Costa Rica, our next destination.

After planning our project we broke for some free time. I love exploring the little town! Sierpe is right on a large river with crocodiles, so my friends and I enjoyed going to a restaurant where we could sit on the water. Around 7 pm we went home for dinner. While there is a large language barrier between us and our host parents, it’s still such a joy seeing how they live and (trying) to communicate with them. After dinner we started to wind down and went to bed around 9:30. Having an amazing time and cannot wait to see what else is to come!
