In Costa Rica, the school year starts in February.  El Puente gathered and distributed school supplies to 97 needy students in the region.

Education is free in Costa Rica, but students must provide their own backpacks, notebooks and other school supplies. Many BriBri families simply can’t afford these costs. These students are from the tribe in Uatsi. We distributed supplies to students from many locations and clans.

It’s not just gradeschool kids who benefit from supplies and services at El Puente.
