Christmas Shopping!







The Christmas countdown in Costa Rica has begun! That means a flurry of activity...parties to attend (to give away gifts, play and bring JOY!) and presents to deliver.
Some of the presents are already pre-bought...patrons of stores like Cemaco in Costa Rica and also patrons of local small businesses like Leon Chiropractica in Moravia, Costa Rica had trees with children's names on the branches. Then patrons picked a name and could donate a toy to that child for Christmas.
Other presents came from the states, like the ones that came from California and from Georgia in suitcases!
Other presents are bought there in Costa Rica and wrapped and delivered....
over 1500 presents are this years goal, and it takes a small army of volunteers! Thanks donors, and thanks volunteers!
