Hola from Coopeunioro,

corovado_school.jpg (77014 bytes)While in Coopeunioro I visited the school and met the teacher and students (To the right, click the image to see it enlarged). There are only 3 children in the school!  Each of them wrote a note on paper for you to read.  They do not have computers and they don't have access to the Internet.  They don't even have telephones - not even in their homes.  It is a very different way of life.  I will type them out so you can read what they have to say.  Please excuse the mistakes that I may make. (Select the links below to read their letters.  You can use these online translators to translate the letter) 

students.jpg (22813 bytes)The children (To the right, click the image to see it enlarged) cannot receive e-mail from you but one of the men in the community has e-mail in a town that he occasionally visits.  If you would like to e-mail the students in Coopeunioro send a message to Ricardo at CERRODEORO@yahoo.com.  Ask him to print your message and take it to the teacher, Marcela Baltodano.  You could also send a letter in the mail to:

Marcela Baltodano
c/o Ricardo Aruya Piedra
Oficina de Correos de Puerto Jimenez
Golfito, Costa Rica

It would be very exciting for them to hear from you.  But remember, they only speak Spanish.

 - Mrs. Kapley
