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 And with over 2,200 entries, so some things might be out of date, so if you find old info PLEASE help each other by getting the updated info & sharing it with me to revise.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!!

VOLUNTEER HELP NEEDED - Santa on the Street/Santa en las Calles - San Jose, Costa Rica


YOUR HELP IS NEEDED
SANTA ON THE STREETS/SANTA EN LAS CALLES
SANTA ON THE STREETS/SANTA EN LAS CALLES Is a program that takes to the streets on SUNDAY - DECEMBER 12 - delivering blankets, a wrapped outfit & a warm meal to many less fortunate/people, most with NO FAMILY and no where to go - living on the streets in Costa Rica.  Santa won’t be knocking on their door without YOUR HELP!!


HISTORY:
SANTA ON THE STREETS/SANTA EN LAS CALLES is a movement that began in December 2006 in Caracas, Venezuela when a group of people decided to bring Christmas to those who roam the streets. In 2008 the movement spread to other cities within and outside of Venezuela, including San Jose de Costa Rica.

VOLUNTEERS ARE STILL NEEDED:

SATURDAY - Dec. 11:  
Volunteers are needed Saturday in MORAVIA to help sort & wrap clothes, blankets and other goodies to gift to those less fortunate!  ANY time you have would be GREATLY appreciated as they will be going throughout much of the day & night!! 



SUNDAY - Dec. 12:  
Volunteers will take to the streets in a caravan around San Jose, Heredia & Alajuela, plus 3 shelters & 2 Group Homes and 2 Orphanages, delivering these GIFTS!  



@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@


ITEMS STILL NEEDED:  
Blankets, people with Trucks, Juice boxes (the individual ones), people with Video Cameras to follow along filming.
You can drop things off still at my place - ON Calle Vieja just EAST of Calle Country Club
in San Rafael de ESCAZU.  Call me for directions - 8-378-6679 (Vicki)

With YOUR help, this year they hope to share with about 1,000 less fortunate people in the Central Valley that otherwise WOULD be forgotten!!
Times are challenging for many of us - but at least we have a roof over our head & a hot meal.  
Help remind someone going through even bigger challenges than us that in the midst of feeling helpless/hopeless, 
there IS STILL some GOOD in the world!!   
Be the Hope!  
(trust me - YOU'LL FEEL GOOD also!!!!)
