Volunteer Program Evaluation Form Dear Volunteer, Please kindly evaluate the volunteer program of RCDP Volunteers and assist us to further improve our services and program. Your name: Lena Gustke How do you assess the services of RCDP The service of RCDP was great. I got all the information I needed in advance and felt well prepared. Please evaluate the support, meal and accommodation we received during the program There’s nothing to complain about. In San Jose accommodations and meals were fine and also at the project site I felt like home. Staff was fun – friendly and supportive and Maximo Nivel called once or twice a week to check on the volunteers which I really liked. Meals were great and accommodations were simple but clean. I had everything I needed and was surprised that they had internet and tv there, I didn’t expect that after the area was described as rural… Please review/evaluate your overall experience of volunteering with RCDP Overall a great experience! I can’t think of any reason why I shouldn’t recommend the program to others! Even after the volunteering Maximo Nivel and RCDP keep in touch with their volunteers and ask for feedback which shows once again that they care and only want to improve their programs! Do you recommend RCDP volunteer program to your friends/families? Yes1 No 0 Can we forward your email address to our future volunteers? If yes, please write your e-mail: Thank you and will you all the best for your future endeavors!
Volunteer Program Evaluation Form Dear Volunteer, Please kindly evaluate the volunteer program of RCDP Volunteers and assist us to further improve our services and program. Your name: Erika Reinarz How do you assess the services of RCDP? RCDP was a great organization and I am so pleased with the whole experience I had in Costa Rica. From the time I applied to the time I left I was always in contact with Preetanjali who was so extremely helpful. Please evaluate the support, meal and accommodation we received during the program All of it was good, I really enjoyed my time in Costa Rica even though there were a couple of issues with my home stay in Ostional. The kinks were all worked out very quickly and I was accommodated elsewhere. Please review/evaluate your overall experience of volunteering with RCDP Overall my experience with RCDP was unforgettable. The only real issue I had is that you never informed your volunteers that you work through Maximo Nivel which I think is something you should start doing. When I arrived in Costa Rica I became really confused by the fact that I was receiving a booklet with Maximo’s name on it. I think Maximo is a great organization but between the two of you, you need to work something out to better explain how your two companies collaborate together. I would definitely consider doing another volunteer project through RCDP and I have nothing bad to say about your organization. Your staff was very friendly and helpful and you rates were the best! Thank you so much for the experience of a lifetime. Can we forward your email address to our future volunteers? If yes, please write your e-mail:
I've been volunteering in Costa Rica with child care for the past 3 weeks.. only one more week to go, the time has gone so fast. So far I've had a great experience. The staff is very friendly and helpful and I've not only been volunteering but have had plenty of time to travel during the weekends as well. If anyone has any questions, feel free to ask !

I volunteered at Playa Ostional in Costa Rica with the sea turtle conservation project. It was an experience of a lifetime. You meet truly great people and get to do some amazing things. The location is beautiful! I would definitely recommend this trip for anyone interested in conservation! Highlights include doing mea...surements and collecting eggs of the leatherback sea turtles, which are about 6 ft long! If I could change one thing about the trip it would have been to stay at the project longer! Kinzy Frizzle
I volunteered in Costa Rica with the turtle conservation project. It was an amazing experience and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to volunteer and work with turtles! We patrolled the beach for nesting Leatherbacks and I got to catch the eggs in a bag and bury them in the hatchery. We also measured the turtles... and checked for injuries. It was truly amazing being so up close and personal with a huge 7-foot Leatherback turtle. I would go back any day! Andrea Mackintosh

We appreciate if you kindly summarize your volunteer experience with RCDP international: We were the first volunteers to Costa Rica through RCDP and worked in the PANI orphanage for teenage boys in La Garita. We had a wonderful experience that was so rich and truly unforgettable. The family we stayed with was perfect and very accommodating. Atenas is the perfect place in Costa Rica to volunteer. It is centrally located so you can travel anywhere on the weekends without too much trouble, and it is also a great mix of convenience and true Tico experience. I would advise against anyone staying in San Jose, which by comparison, has very few redeeming qualities. I would NOT recommend the PANI orphanage for any young women on their own as the boys really aren’t very respectful of women. And I would advise that any men/boys going be very sure of themselves and able to deflect mocking and even mild physical abuse as the boys are pretty angry and somewhat hands-on. Tina was an amazing resource once we got there, and even before we left. Your prices were the best we found as well. Overall a great experience and we have already recommended you to friends. Thanks for a great experience!
Thank you!

We appreciate if you kindly summarize your volunteer experience with RCDP international: I'd like to start by saying the trip was an amazing experience, I had an absolute blast while I was there. I only had a week because I am in school, but if I did it again I would definitely want to go for longer! The location is gorgeous! Again, the trip was amazing. I would do it again in a heartbeat.
Thank you! Volunteer Program Evaluation FormRick and Kandi Deutsch
