Saying Goodbye

After spending a couple of days in this beautiful Bribri community, it was time to say goodbye. It was an eye-opening experience for all of us, and we are so thankful for all the memories. The delicious food, language lessons, hiking, pick-up trucks are all a once in a lifetime experience that we had here. To express our gratitude to the people who made it possible, the Shawnigan team gave the Bri Bri people Canadian goodies and Shawnigan merchandise as gifts. We also sang them a song called ‘Home’ by Philip Philips. The song is about the importance of community and family. Saying goodbye to these kind people and the community was hard, but once again, Mia Mia! - Chelsie W
