| CEPIA Hosts Christmas Party for 350 Kids! |
| Sunday, 30 December 2007 | |
 (CEPIA by JFS) On Saturday, December 15th, the CEPIA Asociation (Culture, Education and Psychology for Infants and Adolescents) wrapped up 2007 with a giant Christmas Party for 350 children from 8-local villages at the community salon in Huacas. For many years, Doña Lee (Wenrich) of Tamarindo sponsored similar Christmas parties for impovrished Guanacaste children until only a few years ago when the number of children swelled into the hundreds. It is heartwarming to those that live here to see Cepia carrying forward with this momenrarily abandoned tradition. Activities began early at 8am with a magic show & clowns and continued until midday with music, a full meal & drinks for all, and of course an individual present for every child.  Photo (JFS): Smiley Faces CEPIA is a non-profit organization and the proceeds from this event will be spent to purchase school uniforms, shoes and other school supplies for the 2008 school year starting in February. Something so simple as proper school attire and a few basic suplies are the difference between attending or foregoing school for many children. Cepia's educational and other asistance is invaluable to a multitude of children and their families in rural areas. For more information about CEPIA, please go to this link: www.cepiacostarica.org. Donations to CEPIA are tax-deductible in Costa Rica. A little help goes a long way with CEPIA. JFS Happy New Year! Comments (0)
