Can you believe it? We finally made it to 2021!
Honestly, I’m still decompressing from the events that transpired yesterday, but I’m hopeful that this year will still be better than 2020. I’m hopeful that it will be a year filled with hope and optimism. And hopefully this conversation will be a great way to start off the new year.
Awhile back I made an episode with my dad where he shared some of his story and described what it was like for him as an immigrant who left Algeria and came TO America.
But I also had hopes of sharing the story of someone who emigrated FROM America. And that’s what you’ll get to hear in this episode!
About a month ago I had the chance to talk with my friends Lilly and Ashley, who both currently live in Costa Rica. Ashley is an American who moved to Costa Rica about 10 years ago, and Lilly is from Costa Rica but spent some of her childhood here in the U.S.
They were kind enough to describe a little about their experiences when it comes to living in a different country, but that was such a small portion of what we talked about.
They also shared about what life is like in Costa Rica and what they’re doing with Hope Partners to help children in need achieve their dreams.
I’m blessed to be able to call them friends and I find their hearts for people to be so uplifting. Maybe you will too!
I hope they inspire you to ask what poverty means to you. Or who poverty is to you.
And be sure to check out the Hope Partners International website to learn more about what they’re doing around the world!
