As an individual, I have always felt the need in contributing to others and specifically to the less fortunate people with the aim of improving their quality of life.

After a thorough consideration, I have come to a point where I realise how blessed I am while there are other fellowmen out there who cannot afford the basics like food and shelter. Having said that, one can appreciate the motive behind my decision to take part in the aforementioned volunteering programme.

Volunteering in Costa Rica is a hugely rewarding programme, where I will be able to help in building new homes for families that live in some of the poorest rural communities of Costa Rica.

The people of Costa Rica need our help. Living in houses that do not provide protection from the weather, is common place in many rural communities, but you can be a part in changing this.
