We are expanding our efforts and have enlisted two women’s sewing groups in Costa Rica to make baby booties. Both groups work with the Costa Rican Humanitarian Foundation (CRHF). The first group, the La Carpio group, consists of women drawn from the slum of La Carpio in Costa Rica’s capital, San Jose. The second group consists of women living on a reservation for indigenous people in a very remote region of Costa Rica. The Costa Rican Humanitarian Foundation (CRHF) is a non-profit organization committed to developing creative and economical solutions to a wide range of social problems in Costa Rica. The CRHF provides opportunities to exchange friendship, goods, services, and financial resources for critical needs among different cultures, socio-economic classes, and language groups.
