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 And with over 2,200 entries, so some things might be out of date, so if you find old info PLEASE help each other by getting the updated info & sharing it with me to revise.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

WHAT IS SASY:  
SASY's ("Stop Animal Suffering Yes!" / http://SASYCostaRica.com) is an all-VOLUNTEER organization dedicated to the eradication of animal abuse and suffering in Costa Rica.  Your support funds educational programs to promote animal welfare, funds SPAY-NEUTER CLINICS in low-income barrios and areas with overpopulation of strays and sponsors several shelters that house and rehabilitate abused and abandoned animals NATIONWIDE.  At any time you can donate to this wonderful cause on PayPal!

You know times they are a LOT TOUGHER these days, hence they REALLY NEED your help NOW more than EVER if they're going to help Spay and Neuter as many Pets around Costa Rica as they do!!!
