This summer will 100% always remain in my mind, and in my heart.
Rice and Beans For Days… NFTY MC Costa Rica!
By building a classroom and paving a road, we — the participants of NFTY Mitzvah Corps Costa Rica 2012 — made a sustainable difference in the communities of Yorkin and La Carpio. As I stated in a Facebook status upon my return home, “I hope that we will all draw things from this experience to implement in our daily lives, because we really can make a positive and sustainable difference in the world.”
UMC: Mission Accomplished
It isn’t just a program for Jewish teenagers that do volunteer over summer break; it is home.
UMC: A Journey Through the Stages of Life
Within just the first week, I had already made so many new friends, and over the past month, have been lucky enough to live not only with my two incredible roommates, but with a beautiful house full of people I now consider my family.
What BAMCorps Means to Us
“BAMC means that I can change the world. BAMC means that I am responsible. For myself. For my friends. For my family. For people I know, and people I have never met. For the people I love, and the people I don’t love yet.”
UMC: Challenge Accepted.
These kids changed my life for the better. This job taught me patience and understanding, and it gave me a glimpse into the life of a counselor. I learned that I want more. The people at Daisy, staff and campers alike, were all so kind and unbelievable. You know the quote, “If you love what you do, you’ll never work a day in your life?” Well so far this summer, I haven’t been working. I fell in love with Daisy literally from day 1.
