Overview
Three hours northeast of San Jose, the capital of Costa Rica, is the small city of Las Juntas de Abangares. Besides being located in one of the most beautiful countries in the world, there’s nothing extraordinary about this community except it needs a new church built and filled. Thus, we are looking for builders and laborers. Having children’s ministries and health professional volunteers would be the icing on the cake. Are you ready for an amazing adventure? Costa Rica is the place.
