Students Sponsoring Students

Team Name/Location

Team S.S.S, La Paz Community School

Students Sponsoring Students is an organization based in La Paz Community School in Flamingo, Guanacaste, Costa Rica. We hold weekly meetings on Tuesdays and Thursdays to collaborate with community members and volunteers that want to help fundraise money for fulfilling financial needs of financially unstable La Paz families. Throughout the weekly meetings, we organize and plan events to give back to the community and raise funds for the scholarship students and their needs in and outside of school.

What I like:
I love to move, to exercise and to feel active. I love to go outside and enjoy nature and fresh air. An activity that I enjoy doing is going to the gym and swimming, the feeling I get when I am done empowers me and gives me the energy to keep going in life. I also enjoy to express myself through creative ways like dancing and acting. When I am moving, I feel like I am invincible and I feel like I have the strength required to be my best self.
What I Do:
I like to socialize and meet new people, I have become a good communicator. I feel like I am good at persuading and defending my unique ideas. Trought the years, I feel like I have become a risk-taker because life has put me through hard experiences that made me grow as a person, this is why I have become independent and strong. I am not afraid of ging beyond my limits and I like to explore new things that challenge me in different ways.
What I Want:
I want to learn how to help those that are in my community. I want to learn how to organize events for the school while fundraising money for those in need. I hope to become a stronger person by working with others. I want to show that dreams can come true and that nothing is impossible. I hope to give the scholarships students a voice and new opportunities!
