Gail’s letter follows:

Dear Friends from WILPF,

On behalf of the children in the La Carpio School, I would like to thank you so much for the wonderful coloring books about Peace that you donated. We were able to go into the school and work with six groups of children with twenty volunteers for several hours in the morning. We used the time to talk about peace and nonviolence in the neighborhood and the home. We also gave each child a box of colored pencils that you had donated. We let the teachers and the director of the school know that you had donated these items.


I appreciate your concern for these children and look forward to working with you in the future.

Yours,


Gail Nystrom


Director Costa Rican Humanitarian Foundation
