 (TBT) Gina DiMaggio places her hand firmly on a large, green, hard-back book on the desk beside her.
“We honestly can’t remember who had the idea in the first place,” she says.

 (JFS) Months of perserverance by Cheryl & Ann McKillican has finally paid off, we once again have life guards on duty. Last September, the Asociaciòn ProMejoras de Tamarindo (APMT) was forced to terminate the lifeguard program due to financial constraints.
