Living in Tamarindo
Helping CEPIA in Costa Rica
Who the heck is CEPIA you may be asking? Well it stands for Culture, Education and Psychology for Infants and Adolescents. It’s an organization that works with Tamarindo’s surrounding communities providing children and families of poor back ground in Costa Rica to experience culture and education. Through out the week they typically provide all sorts of workshops from Yoga for single mothers to classes about computers for kids.
They recently had a tent set up at a local art show. They auctioned off some of the kids work to raise money. Kristina and I chipped in a couple hours to help feed the kids and chaperon. Below are some pictures of the day.
Dirty,
I like to see you out helping the kids. Its all about the kids.
How is the job going?
Looks like the waves are not bad there. I might just have to come down there and see what I can do. I have been known to just get crazy with it and throw a flip on my board off the crest. Its just a little something I came up while surfing Mavericks a couple of years back. You know how I do.
Derby is around the corner, which is nice, real nice. Maybe some dia you can get it together and check it out. Its been years, right?
keep it real ’cause you know I will.

It may be this is a bit too old of a post to catch your attention – but:
I wanted to point out a “coffee sale” for CEPIA that is going on for April to June 2011. It is being hosted by and at http:sceniccostarica.com While those in Costa Rica will benefit from improved futures of the children, I know they can get their coffee much cheaper elsewhere!
But if they’d like to send gifts to folks in the U.S., this will work, and benefit the kids!
