Conserving Costa Rica: Ben Abroad

Dear Friends and Family: Ever since I was a little kid, I've wanted to return to Costa Rica. So I am raising money for a community service project there this summer. I hope you will support my efforts. In July, I will join a small group of AFS volunteers to help restore and build nature trails in Costa Rica's national parks. Part of the experience involves living with a local family and learning Spanish. To finance my participation, I am trying to raise $1000 by selling chocolate chip cookies and $2000 through this website. Thank you for any support you can offer. Sincerely, Ben
