Were you born in a safer place than refugees? Draw on your o wn freedoms and blessings to help those who faced danger\, left\, and have now arrived in a new place.\n\nMore than 700\,000 Nicaraguans have poured into Costa Rica over the last six years\, weary and burdened with the dan gerous situation in Nicaragua. Most who cross the border arrive with littl e more than the clothes on their backs and their personal story of how the y escaped violent repression against the defenseless citizens of Nicaragua .\n\nIn response to this migration crisis Corner of Love has established a headquarters close to the Costa Rica-Nicaragua border to provide relief. Every day more refugees arrive from Nicaragua\, and some also come from Ve nezuela\, Cuba\, Haiti\, Angola\, and other nations. Help us show Jesus’ love for them and lend a hand to those trying to resettle in Costa Rica.\ n\nConsider joining this team and be a part of their new beginning in life . This group will stay near Dreams Las Mareas in Costa Rica and each parti cipant purchases their own flight into LIR\, Liberia\, Costa Rica. (Altern atively\, you may arrive in San José (SJO) and take your own transportati on to our headquarters\, which is 5 hours from SJO airport.)\n\nEach trip participant will volunteer daily to organize supplies and set up Corner of Love’s Relief Center to serve migrant families. All team members will h ave the opportunity to meet and pray with refugees on their journey. Our g roup will provide clothing\, medicine\, towels\, blankets\, toiletries\, a nd bibles to hundreds during the mission trip.\n\nSince 2000 Corner of Lov e has been providing humanitarian aid to Nicaraguans in need\, leading as many as 30 medical-dental-optical groups per year. We are needed now more than ever. We hope you’ll join us!\n\nTrip Cost\n\n\n $1950 payable in the U.S. (We welcome additional fundraising for our Relief Center. [Additi onal $500 fundraising goal for refugee medicine suggested\, but not requir ed. Corner of Love operates a full Rx pharmacy and all treatments are disp ensed free of charge to refugees.])\n $100 envelope for Costa Rica spendi ng money for tips/Left Right Center game/ice cream/treats in town (all opt ional)\n $75-100 (recommended amount) for spending money\n\n\nAll team me mbers may solicit 100% tax deductible donations in connection with their t rip cost by using Corner of Love’s EIN No. 36-4612230.

ANY flight arriving and departing on the indicated dates is fine. It is okay to register for a tri p before purchasing airfare\, just indicate “not yet booked” and send when you buy your plane ticket.\n\nAlternative Itinerary (we recommend the SUGGESTED ITINERARY above)\n\nYour city to SJO (San Jose\, Costa Rica)\n\ nAlternatively\, you could fly in or out of San Jose and take a bus to or from Liberia/La Cruz. Note that this route takes 4.5 – 5 hours or more\, as you will need to travel by land to La Cruz. You would likely need to a rrive a day or more before the suggested arrival day.\n\nEarly Arrivals to Costa Rica /Later Departures from Costa Rica\n\nCosta Rica has much to of fer as far as tourism. For Corner of Love it is no problem if you choose t o fly in before the suggested arrival day or stay after the suggested depa rture day.\n\nAt the request of participants\, here are a few tips about L iberia-area accommodations:\n\nMany team members choose to come in one day early to rest a bit before the mission starts. We recommend HILTON LIBERI A for this. They have a free shuttle from the airport. On most trips at le ast one or two Corner of Love participants opt to stay at the HILTON befor e the mission start date. If you book at the HILTON\, plan on taking their free shuttle (let them know you are arriving) and take your mission cargo luggage to the hotel.\n\nFor those who want to do some shopping\, we reco mmend BEST WESTERN LIBERIA\, which is right across the street from Liberia Walmart. (Shuttle to/from airport available for a fee)\n\nFor those who l ike mountain and National Park activities\, zip lining\, animals\, and aut hentic Costa Rican outdoor fun\, we can suggest hotels in the Fortuna/Aren al and Rincon de la Vieja areas.\n\nIf you are looking for a beach holiday \, there are HUNDREDS of choices. We would be glad to share tips about sta ying at Tamarindo or Guanacaste-area beaches.\n\n\nContacts\n\nU.S. Office : usheadquarters@corneroflove.org\nTrip Coordinator: trips@corneroflove.or g\nAsk questions about your trip via text: (346) 610-3009\n\n\nMeetings\nI f you’d like to schedule an informational meeting about this trip via Zo om\, please send an email to trips@corneroflove.org for dates available.\n \nCargo\nFor those in Washington State – Schedule pick-up of luggage at Maple Valley Western Washington Chapter Office: waliaison@corneroflove.org \n\nFor those in the Houston-area – Schedule pick-up of luggage at Kingw ood COL Corporate Office: (346) 610-3009\n\nFor Trip Participants originat ing from elsewhere (not Texas or Washington State) please collect donation s and pack in your two suitcases.
