My Nonprofit Reviews

Hello everybody,

This is Manoela from Brazil. I'm almost 22, industrial engeneering student and intern worker at Bosch Brazil.
I got my vacation from work and college to be a mission builder in YWAM San Jose, Costa Rica.

10 months ago (April/2014) i understood a calling from God saying that i needed to go to some place not so reach and make the people feel loved through things that i like to do, for example, playing soccer.
Actually the soccer program was for DTS people. But since there was soccer in Costa Rica I didn't see that like an obstacle.

I arrive in Costa Rica on the 2nd of January and I stayed in a friend that I met in the USA last year and then in amazing friend of him until my journey volunteer journey starts.
I went to the YWAM base on the 6th. At first I was really scared because my first roommates were 2 big spiders and I really got crazy. Anyway, I was there a little bit afraid because it was at night so i didnt have so many people to talk. Before i sleep i just prayed to God saying that I was really afraid and really anxious because I knew nobody and I didnt have the things by my control overthere. So this was the most important point to be worked on me.

God is awesome, He just surprised me on the next morning that I woke up. One thing that I was always afraid was dont have something to do like having too much free time. It was awesome because everytime that I started to think: I will have nothing to do in some time, He always surprised me with something, like in my second day in the base: everybody was playing soccer. This is something that I really like to do, actually, I could spend my whole life playing. On the next day I could go to the beach and day by day until my workduties start I always had something really exciting to do and everyday i could meet some new people.

As a mission builder, I could work in sooo many things like I could help in the hospitality, I could help in the kitchen to cook to the base, I could play soccer again, I met the new DTS people and they are amazing I could not have better people to know. I could help the Homes of hope and the Metro Ministries too aaaand i could join some of the DTS soccer classes
