This story shows what a difference a small group of dedicated volunteers can make. Thirteen volunteers organized by Helping Hands Costa Rica and Tropical Adventures made their way out to the Talamanca Indigenous Reservation for a day of painting at the Bambu Retirement Home.

In 7 hours they managed to paint three out of four wings, as well as 8 out of 16 bathrooms. In addition, two of the volunteers worked out in the back of the property scraping and painting the chain link fencing and metal bars that enclose the entire laundry section.
A generous donation from the Iain Programa of $1,000 was exactly enough to buy the paint and supplies needed. And Hotel Banana Azul donated a staff member and reduced room rates for the volunteers.
If you want to help out, they’re scheduling another weekend at the retirement home to finish up the work they didn’t get a chance to complete. They’ll be going back again on Saturday, October 13, 2007.
