Episcopal Youth Work with St. Mark's Church in Costa Rica

Teens spent eight days in Limon, Costa Rica, to fulfill a mission. Coming from rural North Carolina, the teenagers knew how to handle the heat and humidity of the Central American country.

The teens painted the kitchen of St. Marks Episcopal Church, which adults of Good Shepherd built last year. The youth’s main purpose wasn’t to just paint a kitchen but to make a positive impact on the youth in Costa Rica.

San Jose, Jul 1 The price of the bottle of milk, one of the food staples in the family basket, had an increase of 7 percent in Costa Rica.

Recently, in Playa Samara, fresh milk was difficult to find in the grocery store while shelf-milk, stored at room temperature, was readily available.

International Experts To Monitor Costa Rica's Volcanic Activity

The Volcan Arenal and Volcan Turrialba are under the watchful eyes of international experts who want to discover its secrets. The volcanoes create a fascinating backdrop for study.

A recent article in the US-based Chicago Tribune talks about visiting the volcanoes in Costa Rica.
During a four-day excursion across Costa Rica's interior, I often had the feeling that I was watching a special-effects-laden movie instead of experiencing reality. Maybe it was suddenly going from the gray world of Minnesota winter to the saturated colors of the equatorial tropics, but everything—the exploding volcano, the cloud forest as viewed while flying down a steel cable, a flock of iridescent hummingbirds—seemed too extravagant to be true.
