    Last Saturday, March 17, the FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup Costa Rica 2014 was inaugurated at the National Stadium located in San Jose, the capital of the country, with the presence of 34.743 fans, a new crowd attendance record for the opening ceremony of this type of tournament, according to FIFA.

    This is the first time that Costa Rica has hosted a FIFA World Cup and in this occasion with the presence of the national teams from Germany, Italy, Zambia, Mexico, Nigeria, Canada, Ghana, Korea, China, New Zealand, Paraguay, Venezuela, Japan, Spain, Colombia and Costa Rica.

    One of the players of the Costa Rican National Team is Mar�a Paula Elizondo, a 16-year-old young lady from Turrialba. She is a defender, who wears number 6, and we would like to recognize her achievement to be representing Costa Rica in the World Cup.

    In February 2012, Mar�a Paula was part of a social and cultural event organized by Serendipity Adventures for the Alfs family. On that occasion the girls of the family were interested in playing soccer, and as part of our cultural immersion activities we invited girls from different communities of Turrialba, such as Pacayitas and Santa Rosa, where Mar�a Paula is from, to play a friendly soccer match.

    During the game, Mar�a Paula's ability to play with the ball and score goals was noticeable, and now, she is known in Costa Rica as one of the main players of the under 17 female national team.

    As we watched our team measure their skill against the best of the world, we can't help to feel an immense sense of pride, and a special bond that formed that one evening. We congratulate Mar�a Paula for her effort and thank her for sharing her talents and bringing smiles to the Alfs Family, the local girls that participated, and to the Serendipity staff members that helped organize the event.

    Go Costa Rica!
