Newtown Quakers to View Film on Quaker Monteverde Settlement in Costa Rica Via Zoom
The adult class of Newtown Quaker Meeting will view via Zoom the film Sweet Home Monteverde (www.newtownfriendsmeeting.org) at 9:45 a.m. on First Day (Sunday), March 14, 2021.

Some of the highlights of the trip include a three-night home-stay with a Costa Rican family, a tour of one of the country s volcanoes and active lava flows, and a service project with Newtown Friends School sister school Bajos de San Luis.
