Lage und Freizeit

Heredia is a province of Costa Rica, located in the north-central part of the country. To the north it borders Nicaragua, to the east with the province of Limón, to the south with the province of San José and to the west with the province of Alajuela. Its temperature ranges from warm and humid in the north of the province, to cold climate in its mountainous areas and temperate zones in the Central Valley area. The capital of the province is the city of Heredia, known as the "City of Flowers." This city is located 10 kilometers from the capital of Costa Rica, the city of San José, and 12 kilometers from the city of Alajuela. The province of Heredia is rich in colonial tradition. Within its modernism, it is perceived, for its old adobe houses with the roofed roofs and its Spanish architecture, a singular extension of colonial elements. From a point of view of popular culture and folklore, Heredia is called the Province of Flowers, not only because of the presence or cultivation of flowers, but because of the reference to the large number of people with the surname "Flores". San Pablo is located around 7 km from the center of Heredia, in which you can find all the basic services (Banks, Supermarkts, Restaurants, Gyms).

San José is the capital of the Republic of Costa Rica and the capital of the province of the same name. Located in the center of the country, specifically on the intervolcanic plateau called Central Valley, and contained entirely by the canton of the same name. Its metropolitan area with approximately 3 million inhabitants makes San José the most important political, economic and social center of Costa Rican territory, as well as the main hub for transport and telecommunications. Culturally it can be considered almost in its totality with European influence that gave it Spanish and Italian immigration from its colonization, an influence also imported from France and Belgium, where it generally studied the privileged class of the country in the 19th century and at the beginning of the 20th century. This can be seen in the distribution of the city that grew around the current cathedral and later in the architecture of it. The host family is located close to the center of San Jose, in which you can find all the basic services (Banks, Supermarkts, Restaurants, Gyms).

Possible tasks for the volunteer: • To assist the teachers in the classroom • To help create didactic material • To support in the special activities of the school • To assist at the school’s library or with other administrative tasks • To organize additional activities with the approval of those in charge of the kids • To help children with their homework
