Students from United World College cominbed efforts with Dramatic Problem Solving, Barking Horse Farm and the Costa Rican Humanitarian Foundation for a project to help families living in La Carpio. The UWC students and their teacher Yaya worked on Barking Horse Farm to prepare a garden. When preparations were complete, families from La Carpio, a neighborhood where gardening is not a possibility, came out to the farm and planted seeds and starts. Everyone enjoyed the cultural sharing. The UWC students then went to La Carpio and helped in the installation of new bunk beds in houses where large families with little space live. This is an important project of the CRHF in the improvement of the standard of living of these families. The first harvests were collected from the garden this past weekend. The La Carpio families enjoyed a day in the river, making music, harvesting vegetables, some of which they had never tasted before, and making music.
