No Child Without Christmas 2009 - Desafio Adventure Company
For the 3rd year in a row, we made our list, checked it twice and found that that we had to come up with nearly 400 presents for needy children in our small Costa Rican community. So, we set out to get the whole town involved.
Event organizer Ericka Chavarria said response was overwhelming this year. "Just from employees at Tabacon Resort alone, we received 90 gifts & a wonderful donation from Costa Rican Trails of over 60 pairs of shoes," Chavarria said.
The children enjoyed cotton candy, popcorn, delicious rice & chicken supplied by friends & local grocery stores, the Boy Scouts troop helped with fun games & activities and the Fortuna High School band played holiday tunes.
"It's rewarding to see such happy children this time of year," said Desafio owner Suresh Krishnan. "We couldn't have done it without everyone's generous help!"
