=Havergal Goes to Costa Rica 2012= We're back! We had an amazing experience: each person was exposed to all kinds of new things, and adapted to them gradually throughout our stay, whether it was the insects, the water temperature, the dirt and dust, the lack of connectivity, the hard physical labour, the team work. Talk to us about what we learned! Here is the older video (in Spanish) about Asomobi (Asociación de Mujeres Organizadas de Biolley) that Laura showed us. And here is an interview with Laura (also in Spanish) so you can review her story.
