Costa Rica Trip

During the early part of March 2002, Patricia and "The Team" headed down for Costa Rica on the second leg of their missionary trip. It is during the second trip down that the patients reap the benefits of the efforts and hard work of this team, as can be evidenced by the pictures below

Pepsodent Smile!

This man with the pepsodent smile is the owner of Wilmington Orthotics and Prosthetics, Inc. A very generous soul. He not only supplies most of the prosthesis but also pays the way for his technician to join us.

Cosmetic Work!

The "building" is actually the only home for the elderly in Golfito. They have 26 patients.
We painted, redid 6 of their bathrooms: toilets, sinks, plumbing and hot showers, and bought them all new pillows.

 

More Steps!

With a little help from our friends we can finally take steps.

Ensuring Perfection!

Some minor adjustments are needed before the big steps are taken.
