Last week of CCM Session 1

Wow! We are now coming to the end of this Climate Change Mitigation Program Session 1. 
For this last blog I wanted to ask the students if they would help me. So this blog is a collaboration of all 13 students of this beautiful program. 
We had weeks of learning about climate change, getting to know each other, creating new friendships, discovering new foods, lots of hikes, interesting bugs. We had visits to the supermarket where students were able to enjoy snacks. The students came to listen and practice their Spanish.

Students: 

Do not forget the potential that all of you have. You are very valuable to this world regardless of the area in which you want to flourish. Remember that you are loved, blessed, and able to work and make your dreams come true. Remember to be present, trust yourselves, to be thankful and to share a lot of love with those around us. Be proud of what you have accomplished so far, be kind to yourself. I hope you can return to Costa Rica, meet more people, food, beaches, mountains, waterfalls and rivers! You always going to be welcome. 
Oh and if you want to practice Spanish, I'll be here!
