Some Upeacers recently spent the day with ACAI, an ngo that works closely with UN High Commission on Refugees here in Costa Rica. One of my classmates works with the refugee children group. I spent a fun filled day playing, doing art projects and enjoying these kids energy and hope. The refugee population in Costa Rica is 100% Colombian, mostly families from rural, conflict ridden areas that have had to flee their homes. Some of these children's stories are heartbreaking- but they are still kids. They love pizza, jumping castles, stickers and playing. So that's what we did. What a great afternoon!
