#Discover AMIGOS volunteers had a great time hiking through Cerro Gaital in Valle de Antón!😍
They learned about Panama’s plentiful flora and fauna, got to enjoy the breathtaking scenery, and even planted some trees with the help of our local guides and “frens” (friends, as Panamanians call them).🇵🇦❤️
We don’t want the summer to end!

Jenna (from Houston, TX) and Brendan (from Los Gatos, CA) did AMIGOS back in 2018 on the Palmares Project in Costa Rica. A few days ago, they reunited at the Naval Academy! We love AMIGOS reunions! Once an Amigo, always an Amigo.😊🇨🇷

Memories from the field: Cartago y Caribe Pen Pals!📝
"We drove to a local school and visited our pen pals that we have been writing to in Spanish for a couple of days, with the help of our Spanish teachers Marcio and Jorge. We started by meeting our pen pals who gave us a tour of the school and tried to help us speak in Spanish as well as we could.
The local students brought us treats from their cafeteria and played basketball and soccer with us. Then our pen pals helped us write about our experiences in Costa Rica in Spanish. Thank you to all of our Spanish teachers for helping us with advancing our Spanish speaking and our pen pals for being so kind and welcoming."

Memories from the field: Olas y Cerros, Session A✈️❤️
"We have created so many memories and new friends over this program, and simply enjoying each other's company has been one of the highlights for many. We held a bittersweet, tearful candlelight ceremony to say goodbye, and then hopped on that 3 am flight back to Houston, and then home.
It has been a wonderful trip, and we have made so many connections that we will not soon forget. Until next time, Amigos!"
