2013-11-22 Xmas party3

Christmas Presents Needed Last year an amazing woman, Cheryl Barboza Portuguez, from San Jose and her mother donated gifts for each child in the Bejuco School. This was an incredible gift and the children were overjoyed with their new toys. We would like to do the same this year and are asking for a small donation of $10 which will allow us to buy one toy for one child. There are about 50 children in the Bejuco School so we hope to reach our goal of $500. We plan to buy the gifts in San Jose the weekend of December 7th.

 

Please ask us how you can send your donation through Paypal!

Many thanks to those people who have donated already!

NEW Art Box for the Bejuco School!

EcoVida Properties - Costa Rica

2013-10-22 13.39.21The new art box for the Bejuco school is now ready and was used today with the Kindergarten class to make thank you cards for some of the people who have helped this wonderful little school. It was a big hit with the kids and they look forward to more art projects soon.

This would not have been possible without the many donations of art supplies by many different people. Thank you to everyone who has helped! A special thank you to Billie-Jo and Trevor who donated a majority of the art supplies that are currently in the art box.

We are hoping that volunteers will want to help out by planning art projects with the kids using the new art box. If you would like to volunteer to plan an art project for the kids please let us know.

A few items are still needed for the new art box:

- White glue

- Scissors

- Water based paint

- Coloured Paper

Bejuco Road Fixed! No more potholes!

EcoVida Properties - Costa Rica

IMG_1139 (1)

The Bejuco road was in bad shape with a ton of potholes. It was becoming very difficult for cars and bikes to drive down to the beach and we received a lot of complaints from owners and visitors to Bejuco. Shirley in the EcoVida Office called and emailed various members of the Municipality of Parrita. They finally had time last week to do the repair so we have a nice smooth road again. Hopefully this will last for the beginning of high season but if not Shirley will call them again. Many thanks to both Shirley and the Municipality of Parrita! Pura Vida!
