My Trip to Israel

I just returned from three weeks in Israel, Dec. 31, 2023 to Jan. 18, 2024, with Volunteers For Israel, Sar-El. I will tell you what motivated me to go, the response of the people I met, what I think I may have contributed, what I gained, and lastly why you should go.

Rafael Costa Rica

I was born in Costa Rica in 1960, a country without an army since 1948, although with police forces  guarantee internal order and the welfare of citizens. {Therefore it} is very difficult for me, almost impossible, to have a true idea of what is a Defense Army. The opportunity I had this April 2018, to volunteer in Sar-El, allowed me to personally  share with Sar-El personnel, soldiers and staff, both men and women, who showed me not only the administrative and organizational part, but also the human part of the Army.

… In 2013 I went to Cuba, I went to a restaurant and I took pictures of the writings that were on the ceiling, I found this one that I loved, [it] said ISRAEL and I knew it was not a coincidence, it was rather a sign Where I should go.

What a wonderful experience I had volunteering for Sar El!Thanks for all you did to make everything go smoothly.

I have to admit, [I was] very anxious meeting at Lod International Airport with all the other volunteers. That morning amongst, I believe hundreds of volunteers, went so well with your clear communication and instructions to us all. Then we were on our way with not only my other nine volunteers to the base, but other volunteers to other Army bases.
