This weeks Food Drive sponsor is Casa OM – An ocean view vacation rental house in beautiful Monte Paraiso, Playa Hermosa, Guanacaste, Costa Rica.

I have been overwhelmed with the generosity of my friends and my clients, as tens of thousands of dollars have been donated to our FOOD DRIVES. So many families are coming together and making large donations and asking to sponsor an entire day of feeding the needy. THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart. I am a very lucky man, as I am privileged to meet and know so many incredible people. Helping them to own a piece of paradise is a true joy, as I get to see the immense happiness that their families share with one another, when they are here in the land of Pura Vida. You cannot put a price on memories but if you could, there would be a lot of zeros at the end. That is what Costa Rica is truly all about. Come make memories of your own.

Mr. President Please Open the Airport!

June 18, 2020 – Palmira, Carrillo, Guanacaste, Costa Rica.

It has been about 3 months since we have been working with the local communities, volunteers and your donations to provide much needed food and supplies to the most needy families in our little corner of paradise.  So what changed this time?  Well being good capitalists and knowing that it is not good for anyone to just receive handouts and not do something in exchange we decided to require every town who got aid to clean up their streets on the day we deliver them aid.

So here is what happened – and it is not what you would expect…  We had previously identified 53 families in the community of Palmira that were in need of food and supply packages.  And we told them that everyone who was on the list to get a package had to come out in the morning and help do a street and yard clean up.  We partnered with Patas y Manos like always who in turn coordinated the clean up with the assistance of the Municipality of Carrillo.  So instead of the 53 families, over 200 people showed up to not only clean the streets but to clear out backyards of garbage and items that could be a potential Dengue nests.
