“Asociación Esfuerzos Humanitarios de Quepos”
Goal: Serve and glorify our God, serve the greater community of Quepos/Manuel Antonio and serve the indigent community here in this immediate area.
Purpose: is to restore, to the extent possible, persons among this homeless population to their fruitful places in society – to begin again to be productive and healthy members of their families and their communities.
History of Project: June 2006 – a group of churches started to help with a second feeding, adding to the once-a-week feeding already sponsored by the Catholic Church.
Jan./Feb./Mar./Apr. 2008
The house we are renting is better looking than ever. The road leading to Manuel Antonio continues to be cleaned by the men in “Casa De Amor” as well as the beaches of Quepos and Manuel Antonio. There are now two more counselors (Jared and John) from the states here to assist in counseling. We are helping with the restoration of Quepos beach located at Maracas and helping with the work of the Earth Day clean up. We are looking more meaningful work programs. They are learning English to help. Some of the men who have left the program are now living with family or friends and being productive in their local communities. A property has been offered to the Association for free to start building a new facility. A plan is being formed to buy property as well as build on the new property. Two groups from the states are offering to help assist Quepos with the work.
Please feel free to call and ask questions or ask for the monthly updates on the progress. We welcome and value your opinion and help. We need you! We need your hands, your commitment to this community, and your resources.
