December 2008:  David returns to Panama in February 2009

In February 2009, David and a group of eleven others will be returning to Panama.  This time, besides delivering school and personal care supplies, they will spend 10 days building whatever the villagers decide can make the biggest impact in their lives.

It will likely be a school/meeting room and/or better toilet facilities.  Currently the village only has two outhouses that are not in great shape.

David also intends to visit Jessica Rosas at Panama City's Metropolitan Park to deliver supplies that are aimed at helping her with her important rehabilitation work.

If you can help in any way, please check out the Get Involved section of the web site or contact us.  With your help and generosity we can make a real difference to the people and to conservation in that little corner of the world.
