VOLUNTEER NEEDS for Gail Nystrom's Costa Rica Humanitarian Foundation

I consider Gail Nystrom with the Costa Rica Humanitarian Foundation http://CRHF.org - to be “Ms Volunteer” Costa Rica!  For MANY years she’s been helping people THROUGHOUT Costa Rica – starting with her days in her youth in the Peace Corp!

She can REALLY use your help now!!  

Below is a list of some of the summer programs they have going on in La Carpio (some of the poorest people in Costa Rica) for you to consider helping out in whatever way you can!!

VOLUNTEER NEEDS FOR SUMMER IN LA CARPIO

LA CARPIO LIMPIO  -  Help clean up the streets, pick up the garbage, paint the front of houses.

LA CARPIO VERDE  -  Each house will get 4 plants in a bottle - 1 edible, 1 herbal, 1 butterfly attracter and 1 beautiful plant.

LA CARPIO SANO  -  We will package and give out shampoo, soaps, combs, wash clothes, toothpaste, toothbrushes and whatever other hygiene items people are willing and able to donate.

LA CARPIO FELIZ  -  Summer camps, sports programs, music presentations theater productions, dance classes...as many street theater activities as we can come up with.
