Were you born in a safer place than refugees? Draw on you r own freedoms and blessings to help those who faced danger\, left\, and h ave now arrived in a new place.\n\nMore than 700\,000 Nicaraguans have pou red into Costa Rica over the last six years\, weary and burdened with the dangerous situation in Nicaragua. Most who cross the border arrive with li ttle more than the clothes on their backs and their personal story of how they escaped violent repression against the defenseless citizens of Nicara gua.\n\nIn response to this migration crisis Corner of Love has establishe d a headquarters close to the Costa Rica-Nicaragua border to provide relie f. Every day more refugees arrive from Nicaragua\, and some also come from Venezuela\, Cuba\, Haiti\, Angola\, and other nations. Help us show Jesus ’ love for them and lend a hand to those trying to resettle in Costa Ric a.\n\nConsider joining this team and be a part of their new beginning in l ife. This group will stay near Dreams Las Mareas in Costa Rica and each pa rticipant purchases their own flight into LIR\, Liberia\, Costa Rica. (Alt ernatively\, you may arrive in San José (SJO) and take your own transport ation to our headquarters\, which is 5 hours from SJO airport.)\n\nEach tr ip participant will volunteer daily to organize supplies and set up Corner of Love’s Relief Center to serve migrant families. All team members wil l have the opportunity to meet and pray with refugees on their journey. Ou r group will provide clothing\, medicine\, towels\, blankets\, toiletries\ , and bibles to hundreds during the mission trip.\n\nSince 2000 Corner of Love has been providing humanitarian aid to Nicaraguans in need\, leading as many as 30 medical-dental-optical groups per year. We are needed now mo re 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. [Add itional $500 fundraising goal for refugee medicine suggested\, but not req uired. Corner of Love operates a full Rx pharmacy and all treatments are d ispensed free of charge to refugees.])\n $100 envelope for Costa Rica spe nding money for tips/Left Right Center game/ice cream/treats in town (all optional)\n $75-100 (recommended amount) for spending money\n\n\nAll team members may solicit 100% tax deductible donations in connection with thei r trip 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 trip before purchasing airfare\, just indicate “not yet booked” and send when you buy your plane ticket.\n\nAlternative Itinerary (we recommen d the SUGGESTED ITINERARY above)\n\nYour city to SJO (San Jose\, Costa Ric a)\n\nAlternatively\, you could fly in or out of San Jose and take a bus t o or from Liberia/La Cruz. Note that this route takes 4.5 – 5 hours or m ore\, as you will need to travel by land to La Cruz. You would likely need to arrive a day or more before the suggested arrival day.\n\nEarly Arriva ls to Costa Rica /Later Departures from Costa Rica\n\nCosta Rica has much to offer as far as tourism. For Corner of Love it is no problem if you cho ose to fly in before the suggested arrival day or stay after the suggested departure day.\n\nAt the request of participants\, here are a few tips ab out Liberia-area accommodations:\n\nMany team members choose to come in on e day early to rest a bit before the mission starts. We recommend HILTON L IBERIA for this. They have a free shuttle from the airport. On most trips at least one or two Corner of Love participants opt to stay at the HILTON before 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 recommend BEST WESTERN LIBERIA\, which is right across the street from Li beria Walmart. (Shuttle to/from airport available for a fee)\n\nFor those who like mountain and National Park activities\, zip lining\, animals\, an d authentic Costa Rican outdoor fun\, we can suggest hotels in the Fortuna /Arenal and Rincon de la Vieja areas.\n\nIf you are looking for a beach ho liday\, there are HUNDREDS of choices. We would be glad to share tips abou t staying at Tamarindo or Guanacaste-area beaches.\n\n\nContacts\n\nU.S. O ffice: usheadquarters@corneroflove.org\nTrip Coordinator: trips@corneroflo ve.org\nAsk questions about your trip via text: (346) 610-3009\n\n\nMeetin gs\nIf you’d like to schedule an informational meeting about this trip v ia Zoom\, please send an email to trips@corneroflove.org for dates availab le.\n\nCargo\nFor those in Washington State – Schedule pick-up of luggag e at Maple Valley Western Washington Chapter Office: waliaison@corneroflov e.org\n\nFor those in the Houston-area – Schedule pick-up of luggage at Kingwood COL Corporate Office: (346) 610-3009\n\nFor Trip Participants ori ginating from elsewhere (not Texas or Washington State) please collect don ations and pack in your two suitcases.
