Hello from Costa Rica!
It has been a long holiday weekend here due to Columbus Day, so we haven't yet met with our MFI ADAPTE or our constituents in La Carpio. No worries though, that is coming soon! However, we have been able to partner up with University of Costa Rica Social Research Director Carlos Sandoval Garcia and his associate Karen MasÃs for our next Costa Rica project.
Carlos and Karen are helping to construct La Carpio's first and only High School. As of right now, education in this community only goes until 8th grade, whereupon students usually drop out of school altogether for lack of resources that would enable them to travel the long bus ride to the neareset high school. We have pledged to help them raise $1000 for textbooks and school supplies before the start of the next school year in January.
Anything you can give towards this cause would be wonderful, thank you!!
