Costa Rica - Here we come!

We depart this Thursday for a two week visit to Puerto Viejo, Limon, Costa Rica.

The primary purpose of our visit is to check out a grass roots ministry called "The Bridge". This is a grass-roots group of retirees from the U.S., Canada and Europe who are ministering in practical ways to an indigenous indian tribe called the Bri-Bri's. Nutritional assistance, Education Encouragement & Support; and, Micro Loans to encourage continued self sufficiency are the major three areas of helping at this time. More is in the works - which is where we may fit in. Check out their existing efforts at www.elpuente-thebridge.org

There will also be plenty of time for R&R on the beautiful carribean sand beaches and/or in the neighboring rain forest where howler monkeys, sloths, dart frogs and many other interesting creatures still thrive in the wild.

We will post an update upon our return.

Thanks for your emotional and spiritual support.
Henry & Terry
