Streetwalking

Can Justice exist without Truth? It occurred to me today while I was walking with friends in Los Angeles that while Truth seems to have many faces, the one feature it must be is blind.

While we happened to be walking and talking about social justice and specifically how to help end human trafficking, it occurred to me that for this to happen at all there must be blind eyes involved.

Let me not be blinded to the injustices that are all around me, just beneath the surface.

Volunteers!



















We love it when volunteers come to Costa Rica!

Thank you Brendan and Sarai McCastle from Michigan for helping out this summer at our youth camp!


And a big thanks to Juliana and Alison from California, and Amy from New York for all of their help!

Anyone else for a tropical vacation? :)

Free Infant Care Classes





















Volunteers from Clinica Biblica Hospital in San Jose, Costa Rica gave free infant massage classes to women in the community of Los Triangulos this summer.

We love giving away free things...like knowledge and skills!

A trip to the dentist










































This summer the Jane Jones Beca students took a trip to see the dentist. Not just any dentist, but one of the premier dentists in San Jose, Costa Rica.

They learned about the dental arts as a vocation and also about proper dental care. All of our scholarship students are also getting their teeth cleaned for free by the staff at Meza Dental!

(I like going to this dentist just for the view while sitting in the office--3 stories above the rainforest canopy!) It relaxes me instantaneously...

Anyway, check out these photos and the Meza Dental website...I gotta go floss!
