Costa Rica Service Project Trip 2005

In August 2005, Dr. Jiveh and his wife, Jhaleh, took an extremely memorable trip for a service project to an indigenous region of Costa Rica. There, they stayed with Parviz and Ann Ighani and the Guami Indians in a reservation called Progreso, where they served and met the wonderful locals. The Ighanis are members of Bahá'í Faith which have started the only high school program in the area and each year invite several people around the world, mostly youth, to assist in teaching and other functions for social and economic development of Guamis.

In addition to some dental and nursing work, Dr Jiveh assisted in teaching high school students in the village and Jhaleh helped in providing food and other needs for the families. The kindness, gentle manor, great sense of humor, and love of the local Guami Indians will never be forgotten.
