Dixie Sunrise Rotary Club visits El Puente!

Last week, we were grateful to have the Dixie Sunrise Rotary Club visit us here in Quepos.

Lynn Spafford, along with other members of the Utah Rotary Club, came down to donate their time and resources to the Quepos community. All the kids received new school supplies, in addition to the books that Rotary bought for El Puente after we lost half of our library when the school flooded.

Dr. Gooch also gave free eye exams to all of our students and donated frames for the students who needed them.

Bradley received a much-needed new book bag!

Thank you for sharing your time and your hearts with all of us at El Puente!

Dental Health

Heather and Ara, PA students from Colorado, visited El Puente to teach our students about good dental hygiene habits. They shared with us the reasons why we brush our teeth and how our eating habits affect dental health.

Fluoride Treatments! In Costa Rica, there is no fluoride in the water, so treatments like this are especially needed.

Thanks Heather and Ara, for teaching us more about dental hygiene and for giving us toothbrushes and fluoride treatments!
