Costa Rica celebrated 202 years of independent life in September, so a group of PWNCR members and friends ventured into town for a visit to the National Museum, followed by a delicious lunch in Barrio Amón. Our own Cristy Brenes, a retired Social Studies teacher and historian, guided us through the renovated history room, through the colonial environment of Costa Rica, the steps towards independence, the fight against the filibusters, the traditions with indigenous heritage until we reached the Costa Rica of the second republic and its social achievements. Many of us then proceeded to have lunch at Orvieto Cocina de Autor where we enjoyed a delicious meal and strengthened our friendships with other members.

Animales de Asis relies on donations to help support over 300 animals that are in desperate need of help.
Your donations allow the staff and volunteers to worry less about money and focus on keeping the animals healthy and happy! Can you make a $10 donation today, or what your heart dictates!!
To donate right now, please go to the Animales de Asis website and follow the directions for your preferred way to donate (there is a tax-deductable option for those donating from the US!). You may also go directly to the Animales de Asis PayPal (http://paypal.me/
Animales de Asís provides care to dogs and cats suffering from starvation, pregnant mothers with puppies or kittens. However, their primary focus lies on animals dealing with difficult medical conditions or senior animals facing age-related problems. These are creatures that might be considered for euthanasia by many, yet thanks to the team of specialists at Animales de Asis, a significant number of these animals are given the chance to enjoy robust and joyful lives.
The staff are also tending to over 300 other animals in search of their forever homes. All animals experience pain, fear, love—emotions just like those felt by humans. Animales de Asis urges us not to view them as mere “animals,” but as fellow “beings” reliant on our assistance. Countless animals await help, and due to the extensive medical expenses they incur—specialists, therapy, medications, and more—the most pressing requirement is donations to support their veterinary bills.
A final plea: If you find yourself short on funds and unable to donate presently, could you kindly share this appeal with your friends and family?
