It is the last week of JUMPSTART and the good news keeps
coming.
First, JUMPSTART Liberia is now completely funded by CRUSA,
a foundation that encourages the cooperation and collaboration between the U.S.
and Costa Rica. This is an amazing opportunity for JUMPSTART and CRUSA. I cannot
thank CRUSA enough for giving us the chance to prove that JUMPSTART is a worthy
program. And hopefully this will be just the beginning of a long relationship
between JUMPSTART and CRUSA.
Second, we had the honor of hosting two visitors at camp
today. The director of Costa Rica Multilingue, Marta Blanca, helped me out all
day. She was fantastic in the class and the students really enjoyed having her
participate in the activities. We also were able to share with the Minister of
Tourism for Guanacaste, Don Alvaro. He spoke to the students about the many
opportunities available to people that speak English, not only in tourism, but
in any job that involves people from another country, which is becoming more
and more prominent. 
Tomorrow we are taking a field trip to the Science Center at
EARTH University. The Science Center is a collaboration between the U.S.
Embassy and EARTH University, a private, non-profit, international university.
We will be able to tour the center and campus and continue with class there. The
University is about ten minutes down the road and none of the students have
ever been. It will be really cool to see their faces as the step onto a university
campus and hear about the opportunities that are available to them with a quick
bus ride.
Thursday and Friday will be filled with review games,
awards, and graduation. It is incredible how fast these four weeks have gone,
and how much more we have to do in the last three days.
As always, thank you for your support, encouragement and
love.
