Trinity students help a school in Colonia Libertad, Costa Rica

Students from Trinity High School and Lexington Catholic High School spent the afternoon on an important service project for the village of Colonia Libertad. Recent grants have allowed the community to purchase raw materials needed to renovate the school and build a wall around the property. Students helped by moving the cinder blocks from across the street to the construction site, saving the local workers time and energy to get the job done. Over the course of the summer, students from Seeds of Change continue to make a positive impact on the village.

From there we continued our journey to arrive at the beautiful Sensoria. Once we arrived we were greeted by our tour guide, who lead us up rocky paths uphill and downhill with many many stairs. We arrived at our first destination, which was the "Blue Waterfall". It was a long beautiful, pure blue waterfall, just as the name suggests. We took a few pictures as seen below and went to our second place. The second place was a cold spring, which we were able to swim in and climb on the rocks. It was insanely cold and really refreshing! John was the first to hop in! After that, we went to our third and final spot in Sen...
