A BIG THANK YOU to all who attended our presentation at CPC last night! It was great to reconnect with you and we hope that you walked away with some new insight on life in Costa Rica, the Monteverde Friends School and on making life transitions. There is much more that we could have shared, but the experience of this move is really too big to capture in 90 minutes or through looking at photos.
Some of you inquired about ways to provide support. In future posts, we will provide details. If you have specific thoughts, new ideas or talents that might be of help, please let us know.
We extend an invitation to you to contact us through this blog - you can reply at the bottom of this entry. If you or if you know anyone who might be interested in learning more or participating in anyway, please let us know.
Also, if you know of people that attended and have computer access, you may want to pass along the web addresses.
