Rainforest Group

Two years ago, this is how it all started. It is crazy to think about. I met Bill VanDyk when he was staying at the Villa Pelicano in Manuel Antonio. He was on his anual student Rainforest trip, and because Nicki and Logan Dykgraaf were on the trip, they stayed a few nights in Manuel Antonio...

Last year I had the chance to go on the trip with the group, and this year, the whole school was blessed by their visit. They came and spent time reading with our kids, learning songs in spanish, and praying for our school and kids. It was great to have them and see them catch the heart and vision of what we are trying to do.

Thank you for loving our kids and taking the time to connect with them! They will not forget you!
