ABOUT THE LIVING LIFE IN COSTA RICA BLOG

I (Vicki Skinner - aka "THE Sarong Goddess") created this blog in 2007 to share DETAILED Finds•Lists•Info•Events•Experiences to help bring more EASE to people living in, visiting or thinking of moving to Costa Rica since DETAILS are NOT easy to find!
I’m NOT an expert (an "expert" 2 ME knows 101%-NOT me). I believe in sharin info•helping where I can! And with over 2,200 entries, so some things might be out of date, so if you find old info PLEASE help each other by getting the updated info & sharing it with me to revise. At least you have some basic info to get you started.
VOLUNTEER TO HELP:
Better yet - do you have extra time on your hands & looking for a volunteer project? Since this blog is a labor of love & RARELY does anyone share a donation (even though MANY have said how much it's helped them), I could REALLY use help updating info. Spanish speakers ESPECIALLY welcome since my VicLish can be somewhat limited at times!!

DONATE:
Has my blog helped in any way? Helped find something•brought more EASE? More exposure or business?
I welcome you to show YOUR appreciation for my efforts!
ANY size DONATION is APPRECIATED!
(see below other ways to show your appreciation)

Seeking SEWING MACHINE DONATIONS for Charity in Costa Rica (on-going)

Where to DONATE your SEWING MACHINE you no longer need:

Gail Nystrom with the Costa Rican Humanitarian Foundation (http://CRHF.org) is ALWAYS seeking SEWING MACHINES (as well as fabric, thread, buttons, zippers, etc.) as they teach more women in La Carpio (some of the poorest of the poor people of CR) (GNystrom@racsa.co.cr / 8-390-4192)



Judith Padilla Baumann, who works with the homeless in Escazu, visits prison inmates, etc., is 
seeking 2 used SEWING MACHINE DONATIONS 
for classes on Wednesday afternoons, that she & her helpers will be using to teach women from poverty areas how to sew & then sell their items.  Classes will take place in the church building next to their church in Escazu.  If you or someone you know would be interested in donating a sewing machine or selling one at a very reduced cost contact  judith-padilla@hotmail.com  /  2-228-0468.

(tell them Vicki "Connected" you!!!)
