Service As Action Trip 2024: Panama
“I loved learning about the culture and interacting with the communities in the country and the city.”
“I liked playing football with the little kids and talking with them in Spanish.”
“The biking and zip lining was fun.”
“One thing that will stick with me is the relationships I made with people - seeing them all day every day and not just at school.”
“I loved when we gave the football boots to the star player of the Panamanian team - his eyes lit up like a supernova exploding.”
“We got to hold monkeys on Monkey Island - and then they stole our grapes.”
