SEPTEMBER / Canada We journeyed to Newfoundland! We joined the CNIB charity – providing community-based support, knowledge, and a national voice to ensure Canadians who are blind or partially sighted have the confidence, skills, and opportunities to fully participate in life. The dedicated specialists work with people of all ages in their homes and communities providing the personalized rehabilitation support they need to see beyond vision loss, build their independence, and lead the lives they want.

DECEMBER / Costa Rica
We journeyed to Nosara! Helping turtles, howlers, and more … Our alarms went off at 4:00am, it was pitch-black out when we left our hacienda to travel to the volcanic beach sands in search of baby turtles. We had the pleasure of protecting these sweet creatures while they made their way to the ocean! We also learned about how transformers and powerlines are killing and injuring howler monkeys. We set a goal on insulating three of them!
