Through this blog we want to share the ministry and Costa Rica with our readers by means of several weekly posts. These posts will include A Glimpse of Costa Rica (photos of people and places), Did You Know...(facts and information about Costa Rica), as well as a post featuring a different child each week. We also plan to use the blog to keep you up-to-date on events, activities, needs, and prayer requests related to the Kids Kitchen, other ministry projects, and the family. We hope you will visit often. Blessings!

Costa Rica was first explored by the Spanish in the early 1500s, but colonization proved unsuccessful due to disease from mosquito-infested swamps, brutal heat, resistance by the natives, and pirate raids.
