Puerto Rico alt break recap! For a week over winter break, our community sustainability alternative break team was given the opportunity to immerse themselves in the Puerto Rican culture through various service projects with local non-profits and community members! We worked in the local beaches to clean up areas for the leatherback turtles to nest, helped replant in local gardens and orchards to keep up with community standards, and completed community initiative projects. Outside of our service, we got to experience and learn the culture firsthand by talking with locals and welcoming a vulnerable space for conversation.

Over winter break, a group of our students went on the Costa Rica community development alternative break. They stayed at the Los Jazmines school, working alongside community members on repairs, painting walls and murals, and helping to build a sidewalk. Participants and community members also connected despite some language barriers by playing soccer and drawing together.
