This spring, volunteers contributed to a wide range of CRHF programs<\/a>, including youth development initiatives in arts, sports, tutoring, languages, and technology. Visiting groups also led impactful health and health education activities, offering support in areas such as nutrition, basic medical check-ups, vision care, and dental services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, past and long-term volunteers have been working diligently to organize medical records and other key data<\/a> for the Foundation. This effort allows us to reflect on the impact we have made across different regions of Costa Rica over the decades and helps guide our future work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our collaborators continue to provide excellent services as we strive to improve our programs and maximize the resources made available to us.<\/p>\n\n\n

Volunteer group<\/a> visits not only strengthen our capacity to serve communities, but their contributions also play a vital role in ensuring our financial sustainability. This support allows us to plan and implement medium- and long-term programs through our model of development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the days begin to grow warmer, we are preparing for volunteer groups visiting in the summer of 2026. We look forward to continuing our partnerships with groups who have supported us over the years, and we are equally excited to welcome new groups. We invite anyone interested in supporting our work to reach out and learn how you can be part of this positive change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
