We ended our evening by taking a walk to the beach. Everyone sat in a circle and reflected on the weeks’ projects. Christine thanked everyone for their time, energy and dedication to the program initiatives of CulinaryCorps. She thanked Viviana for assisting in coordinating many of the project details. She also thanked Thomas, a CulinaryCorp Board Member, for his role in assisting her, Viviana and the Team.
Everyone shared how the week had impacted their lives as well as what had been the personal highpoint of the week. Tears of joy were shed by some. There were also some heart felt testimonies.
In the end we were thankful to have been part of an incredible journey, fulfilling Christine’s vision of the trip and upholding CulinaryCorps’ mission.

Such a beautiful way to end the trip. Thank you for capturing all the wondrous moments along the way Arden. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed reading about our adventures from your point of view. Hope the remainder of your stay on the island is as delicious as I suspect it will be! ps: Missing your candied papaya already.
