Ukulele fun at the Woodshop...

Lately things have been busy at our Woodshop site.

Some of the guys there have decided to work on a fun new project. Ukuleles! 
For those who do/don't know Joshua (our Woodshop site leader), he has a gift for working with wood and playing music. In the past he has made custom ukuleles, and now he is teaching the woodshop guys how to make them. 


The guys are doing a great job and the ukuleles are looking good. Cant wait to see how they turn out!!! 

*** We are still raising money to be able to purchase the woodshop building. If you would like more information, here is the link to a past blog post that gives all the information and ways to be able to partner with us.

Día de Familia

About 6 times a year, we the SICR staff have a Dia de Familia. It is a day where the SICR staff and their families (kids included) get to hangout together. In the past we have gone to the beach, BBQ at the Dixon's house, etc.

Over the years, SICR has grown! In the past the adults have out number the kids, but as the SICR staff continues to grow, so does the ratio of kids to adults. (right now we are equal with Kids/Adults) 
Then 
Now

This last Saturday we had a Dia de familia. This one was an important one because just 2 weeks ago, we welcomed the Fast family to our staff! Also it was the first one that our newest National staff Rafael and Juan have ever been too. 

Ruinas de Ujarras
We spent the afternoon at Ruinas de Ujarras. It is a historical park that has a Spanish Colonial Church that was built between 1575 and 1580 there. This park is perfect for families. It has a playground where kids can play, large grass area to throw a ball around or play tag, as well as some nice picnic tables. 


Once we got there, we set up camp! Sorry there were no tents or anything, but we claimed a spot for us to BBQ and still keep an eye on the kiddos. 




From there we went to Diana's grandpa's house in Cachí and had cafecito there. 


Overall the day was such a blessing to be able to spend time with each other outside of work, get to know each others families and spend sometime just laughing!

Summer 2014

What a SUMMER!!!

We had over 100 people come this summer with a team. That means we had over 100 extra hands to help us love on the communities we work in! 
Not to mention we had 6 amazing interns that spent the whole summer here. 






Our 6 AMAZING interns! 












What a HUGE blessing you all were!  They did anything from going on crazy all day hikes, to fixing bikes and even having a little (HUGE) water fight! 

So THANK YOU all for all your hard work, for showing God's love to the people here and for willing to be apart of our SICR lives for two weeks!

The Last Two Weeks...

The last two weeks 
we had an outreach that was made up of 3 families, the Ewert's, Stahl's and Pritchard's and The Well Community Church. They came during a time where
 Costa Rican schools have 2 weeks off for summer vacation. 
Because of this, each site is able to do some fun activities. 

Last Friday, the Tutoring Center and Sports site 
had water games in Los Guido. 
It was a perfect day for it! 
The sun was out, the kids were ready to play and get wet.
And boy did they. Here are some pics :) 












This is the last week of vacation and we cant wait to show you all the fun
each of our ministry sites are having :)
