Covid-19 Update – Playas del Coco, Guanacaste, Costa Rica – July 29, 2020

Good afternoon everyone.  I just wanted to send out an update about the current Covid-19 situation happening right now in our little slice of paradise.  I also wanted to record these videos for you so you can see that I am doing well and we are waiting patiently for the borders to open up and things to return to normal so you can come and enjoy the lifestyle down here in our beautiful corner of the world.

First of all this is a short video with some up to date information as it relates to Covid-19 and being able to come to Costa Rica

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.
