This February, I am going to Costa Rica for a week to volunteer to take care of children at an orphanage. It is through an organization I found online where people from all over the country sign up and go on volunteer trips. A couple of my friends were thinking about coming with me, but the money was kind of a problem (yes, you have to pay to volunteer) and they aren't going to end up going. I am still going though. I think it is ok to go by yourself.. I mean it sounds like something where people will be coming by themselves, because it's not through a church group or something. I mean, it's not like I am going to be alone, because I will be working with a group. I just hope everyone doesn't come in their own groups already, because I don't want to be the odd one out. Do you still think it will be a good experience?
