Dear Family and Friends,

I would love to go to Costa Rica with "Education First Tours" for my Spring Break because from its exhilarating rainforest to its amazing fish and animals it would be an honor to go to Costa Rica. Therefore, it would be interesting to meet new people from other states and old friends from my Canada trip. Also there would be engaging sites and adventures such as water rafting, horseback riding and most importantly, scuba diving. Scuba Diving would be most important to me because Costa Rica has many rare fish and animals that we don't normally see in the U.S. Costa Rica is known for their rainforest and their spectacular animals such as the red-eyed tree frog-- their praised amphibian. That would be an interesting research study that I would do to make my mark in Costa Rica. Even though they are not endangered, it is important to save where they live in the rainforests.  And although I would be missing my family it would be a great adventure for me.

Thank you.

MOM: I'm loving how Andre is growing-- fearless and ready to take on what's next. For Spring Break, April 2017, at 13 and in the 8th grade, it would be a privilege to send Andre to Costa Rica with your love and support. 

He's traveling with the same teacher he journeyed with to Canada and some of the same kids he met then. I am comforted knowing that he will be taken care of and watched over by a higher power.  

A portion of the donations made now until January will go to the purchase of canned foods and paper goods like paper towels, health & beauty, and hygiene products needed to the Community Food Bank of New Jersey. 

With all my thanks and appreciation.

XO
