GIVING BACK

Thirty-five team members participated in a day of giving back at Mercedes Elementary School in Ortega, Costa Rica. Teachers and students at the school received essential items needed for its daily activities and classrooms, such as electric fans, new computer desks, tables, chairs and a large amount of everyday school supplies. The exterior of the school received a facelift from volunteers and they also repaired a roof that had been previously damaged.
