Samford Service-Learning Trip 2026
March 08, 2026by: Blake Andres - United StatesMy university and I did a weeklong service trip in Quepos and Manuel Antonio. My favorite experience of the program was volunteering at a daycare with kids. This experience was very enriching, and helping the kids get as also a great opportunity to practice Spanish. We were able to brighten the days of the kids with games, conversations, a piñata, and ice cream. I would recommend Maximo to anyone interested in volunteering abroad.

Participated in 2018
After teaching English in Italy in 2016, I realized that I wanted to take this career path more seriously and invest in my education with a TEFL certification. I want to teach in a country that is different than America, where I can genuinely make a difference and help children to have more opportunities in their lives by speaking English and having me as their teacher.
