Start by browsing through some of our most popular programs\nfor spring break mission trips. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In\nCosta Rica, English is a required subject, but many rural and urban schools\ncannot adequately teach it because there are no funds for specialized teachers.\nWhat\u2019s so important about learning English? Tourism brings in over 2 billion dollars a year into Costa Rica, only\nabout 10% of the population currently speaks the English language they need to\ncommunicate with those tourists. With over a million people living in poverty,\nthis lack of education is preventing hard-working Costa Ricans from improving their\nfinancial situation.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n This project equally aims to provide quality English\nlanguage classes to local schoolchildren. When you volunteer in San Jose on a mission trip spring\nbreak for high schoolers, you will be asked to instruct Basic English,\nboth conversational and grammar, to the local schoolchildren and involve them\nin various fun-learning, sports, creative, arts and extracurricular activities.\nYour assignments will be given as according to your interests and skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n By volunteering in Costa Rica, you\nwill pave the way for a bright and successful future for your Costa Rican\nstudents. More job opportunities will be available to them as they grow older,\nbreaking the cycle of poverty their families have become stuck in. Although you\nmay not see them go on to get jobs, you can feel good about your work because\nthe vocabulary lessons they learn from you will be steppingstones for their\nfuture language proficiency. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Do you want to partner with IFRE for\nyour mission trip in San\nJose for your high school spring break? If so, read\nmore program details by following the link<\/a> or contact us directly to let us know your\ninterest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Other projects that may interest in\nyou Costa Rica include working in healthcare, supporting abandoned children in\norphanages, and working with underprivileged children. To\nlearn more about these program opportunities, please follow the link<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n The Peruvian healthcare system gives\nmedical care to all citizens regardless of income, but still over one third of\nthe population still does not have access to basic healthcare. Because of this,\ndeaths from treatable and preventable diseases and illnesses are surprisingly\ncommon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n When you partner with IFRE for a spring break mission trips for high\nschool students, you will work in local hospitals and clinics to shadow\nand assist medical professionals. Other responsibilities may include assisting\nwith lab work, distributing medicine, administrative work, or treating and\ndiagnosing patients. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This volunteer opportunity will\nallow you to have a direct impact on the patients you treat.
