Ronald, a Tico (Costa Rican); Sandra, a Gringa (from USA); and Horacio, from Argentina, all worked together with us in Renacer. What a great team! |

Costa Rica has an abundance of stray dogs. This one decided to come join the Bible Club. |

We held sessions for kids up to 8 years old in the mornings, and
for 9 and above in the afternoons. We often had teens—15, 16, or even 17 years old—show
up for the afternoon group. Some of these girls were actually single moms of toddlers
attending the morning group! So, the young moms would come both morning and
afternoon—first for their kids and later for themselves! The moms
always loved to color!! |

Brad playing tug o' war. Our budget was limited, but something as simple as a length of rope can be plenty of fun. |

Jumping rope—same resources, different game! |

Costa Ricans bar the doors and windows of all homes and buildings to keep out robbers. When there is no jungle gym, kids still find ways to climb! |

Rain, Rain, Rain! |
|
Costa Rican roads are famous for their many pot holes. After a good rain, they often double as tiny swimming pools! |
