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!
