What's a more
thoughtful
present for Mom
this Mother's
Day than a
brick? And why
not toss a few
at some other
mothers too. The
more, the
better. Let us
explain.
Although
Mother's
Day in
Costa
Rica
doesn't
come
around
until
August,
the
Charitable
Foundation
is using
Mother's
Day in
the
United
States,
Canada,
Colombia
and
other
countries,
trying
to raise
a little
money,
in
support
of
Mastatal
- a
small
community
in rural
Costa
Rica
about
two and
a half
hours
from San
José.
For a
few
years
now, the
Mastate
Charitable
Foundation
have
been
working
in this
town and
their
most
recent
endeavor
is to
build a
Community
Learning
and
Sharing
Center (CLSC),
which
aims to
serve as
a social
center
in the
town, as
well as
a
library
and
meeting
place.
That's
where
you come
in
The CLSC
building
in
Mastatal
will be
naturally
built
using
local
labor
and
resources.
And
5,000
bricks.
This is
where
you come
in.
Because
someone had the
very good idea
of selling
bricks for $4
each in honour
of your mother
on Mother's Day
and if we all
buy a brick or
two, well, then
guess what, we
can together
build this very
important
building.
The Community
Learning and
Sharing Center (CLSC)
is MCF’s most
ambitious
project to date.
