More and more families are volunteering with Tropical Adventures lately. Pretty soon they are going to outnumber our individual volunteers. For example, over the last week we’ve had a family of four from Massachusetts working at the sea turtle project in Cahuita. They had a rough day arriving there (they decided to rent a car) but, when they had the chance that first night to observe baby turtles hatching that same night, it just made them realize that traveling all the way there was more than worthwhile. For those volunteers who have had the honor to witness this miraculous event, you know what I’m talking about.  Now the family is off on a trip we planned for them to visit the Arenal Volcano area.

Besides this family, we’ve had another dedicated, hard-working family for the last six weeks: Michael, Jennifer and Alexandra, a family from Arizona who were volunteering in the La Flor Project for a month. Needless to say, they miss their host family so much. Now they’re in the Monkey Park, and tomorrow will be traveling to our Monte Alto project where they are going to be welcomed with a big lunch party at the nature reserve where they will meet our other volunteers, Michelle from Scotland, and Marcus from Switzerland.

On Monday, we’ll be welcoming another family of four (grandparents with their grandkids) who will be volunteering at Monkey Park and taking amazing tours during their off-time (enjoying the advantages of our voluntourism option).

Both families are going to be working side-by-side at Monkey Park and our other volunteer, Marcus, who has been here for almost two months visiting all of our projects. These two families and Marcus will be planting trees that were donated by Tropical Adventures in the park.

We are very committed to our projects. We believe in all of them and trust in the work we’re doing and the goals of our projects. Thank you very much in advance for deciding to volunteer with Tropical Adventures and to become part of our family.
