Jaco, Costa Rica is a town known for crime, drugs, poverty and under-age prostitution. The life-track for most of the kids that live here is straight into the dangerous lifestyle of this town...
... but we are working to help change their lives each and every day at our after school kids program. You can help too! Consider joining our team and support real child development in the real world.
"We're not just talking theory here! This is real kids growing and learning in the real world and one mom learning all she can."
Currently lost in the land of diapers, runny noses, scraped knees, endless laundry, piles of dishes and continual messes. But along with this comes lots of hugs, snuggles, kisses, laughter and I love yous.
I am learning more each day about what it means to be a wife and a mom. I have a wonderful husband who keeps me laughing and four energetic, rough and tumble, smart and sensitive, adorable boys.
