If you enjoy volunteering, then you should think about Costa Rica for your next trip. After many years of volunteering in many other countries and U.S. cities many people have found the great need for their services in Costa Rica. Beautiful country, beautiful people and amazing programs to work with.
With one of the most diverse landscapes in the world, Costa Rica is on the rise for volunteering. Preservation of this pristine landscape is crucial to maintain the ecosystem here in Costa Rica and should be a destination for those who are interested in this type of volunteering. Exotic flora and local fauna are in danger and it is important that we work to preserve these great wonders.
There are also social problems such as poverty and lack of education. One of the most important would be the problem of malnutrition. By giving the Costa Ricans the tools they need to be self sufficient by growing and producing their own food products, we can help combat this growing crisis.
Volunteering will give you an opportunity for you to work closely with many of the locals throughout villages in Costa Rica. It has been said that Costa Rican culture as a whole is full of warm and caring people that will open not only their homes to you but their hearts as well.
Safety is another reason to consider volunteering in Costa Rica. With the most important fact being that they do not have an army, they are also one of the safest countries in Latin America. Being a country lucky enough to have managed to continue to run without a dictatorship is truly remarkable.
When it comes to the children of this country, the local people are like a village. They are considerate of each others needs and will help out where they can with family and friends in need. Putting aside their own needs aside for others.
If you are worried about your Spanish, or lack of it, you can also plan a short Spanish course upon your arrival. But not to worry, the locals are all very understanding of those who don't speak their language. What better way to learn than by being immersed in this amazing culture. You will surely be a pro by the end of your trip.
While you are on your mission of volunteering, Costa Rica is a land filled with beautiful landscapes, people and there is a need. Make Costa Rica the top of your list for places to check in to for your next trip abroad.
So remember, do your research before making a decision. Many organizations are available either online or through charitable organizations that are there to offer assistance. And lastly, bring those kiddos, they too can learn and enjoy the gift of giving back, no age is too soon to start.
