My favourite moment had to be when we would take the kids to the park
by: Vanessa NkemayangProgram: Volunteer in Childcare in Costa RicaMy favourite moment had to be when we would take the kids to the park. Even though there was a language barrier, playing is a universal one and it was great seeing children come out of their shells. I appreciate the world so much more after my trip.
