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 And with over 2,200 entries, so some things might be out of date, so if you find old info PLEASE help each other by getting the updated info & sharing it with me to revise.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

DONATIONS NEEDED - Money is needed to buy School Books for rural communities - for the Women's Club of Costa Rica

Over the past 4 years the Women's Club of Costa Rica - WCCR.org has been supporting many rural schools with a set of 4 text books per child published by La Nación.

The cost of one set of books is just ¢6,000 ($12-ish).

To date, they have 26 such schools on their list (see Lista de Escuelas) and the necessary funds have been collected to support the donation of books to 1,040 children.

They were approached by yet another small school in need of help - near Puriscal: Escuela Bajos de la Legua - with 31 children from 1st to 6th grade.

They do not have the funds to help this school, so they're appealing to all of you, wondering you would be able to help with a donation. Ideally, we need to find ¢186.000/$350-ish, preferably before the new school year starts on 10th February (but they have a constant need so .

Can you help them (though school has started, I'm SURE they can still use the help/$$)?

Below are the 2 WCCR bank accounts at the Banco National. Or contact them for a cash donation.

Make a donation by Bank Transfer to these WCCR’s Banco Nacional accounts:
