It's a faculty-only face-off on Friday, November 7th during Professional Development. We will be honoring and exploring our Build Here, Build There relationship with the Hope Center in San Jose, Costa Rica. The Hope Center has been both a destination for NCS short term summer missions as well as a destination for Northwest Christian students looking to grow through 5 and 10 week summer missions internships.
CHECK OUT THE INFO BELOW!
Details:
- On Friday, November 7th, during Professional Development, we will be enjoying an eye-opening exploration of the sort of plight found in developing nations like Costa Rica. Following this event, we will hear directly from Lonnie from Hope Centers, and enjoy a lunch featuring Costa Rican empanadas!
- To accompany lunch, our competition will center around two categories: appetizers and desserts! Make either a tropical fruit-based appetizer or a tropical fruit-based desert.
- The fruits that are most native to Costa Rica are: Pineapple, Banana, Mango, Star Fruit, Passion Fruit, Papaya, and Dragon Fruit. Use at least one of these fruits in your appetizer or desert to qualify.
