"With the help of Project Pura Vida, my employees and I changed lives! And we have never felt closer. As a result of the conversations and goals we set while on the Company Team Building trip, MCC Construction had our best year ever! Project Pura Vida helped our staff bond while we gave back by changing the lives of people in need. It was an invaluable experience I think every company could benefit from."

"Seeing our team come together on this trip was an amazing gift. We went to Costa Rica with a common goal to give back to a family in need, discuss business building strategies, and enjoy some time to relax. I didn't expect that we would come home with our lives changed forever. I learned so much about each individual person and saw more deeply what makes our team so special. We have so much to give as individuals, but when we work together, we are truly impactful. We have amazing things on the horizon, more memories to make, more lives to impact. I am so excited for the journey."

"As an executive of a growing firm, I lead a busy life. This experience with Project Pura Vida allowed me, well forced me, to be present and in the moment. My trip included several close friends and of course, we had a ton of fun which led to many thought provoking conversations. Although the families we helped had little in terms of material wealth, it appeared to me that they were very rich.  They knew what was most important… Family.  Faith.  Community. This was clear and a wonderful reminder to me. I am very appreciative to have been able to engage in this one of a kind opportunity with Project Pura Vida."

"Working with Project Pura Vida has been another key experience in my life to help continue cultivating kindness in my heart and mind. In life, I try to never miss an opportunity to be humbled. Working with PPV to help the poor in Costa Rica, I was able to see and learn of the generosity and kindness they have shown each other and then freely share with me. It was truly humbling. Thank you for providing this experience to help me along this journey of pursuing kindness."

"Taking time to serve others not only changes their lives, but our lives too! I have gone on many trips with Project Pura Vida and each time I've been able to give a house to a family in need is incredibly rewarding. My perspective towards my life has been changed because of these trips and I love sharing this experience with others. What Project Pura Vida does is life changing, not only for the people we help, but for all who take part in it. "
