I don’t know exactly but i follow the http://www.homelessworldcup.org. and C.R. participated last year. Whoever organizes them would probalby know, or perhaps a member of the Team Costa Rica.the world championship is in Brazil Sept 19-16 2010.Watch the DVD Kicking It!
No doubt the team could use support. Make sure it is NOT World Vision.September 8, 2010 at 8:49 pm #202124costaricafincaParticipant[b]Dougdonna [/b] whatever the group is, it is obviously ‘not well known’
I would avise you to check it out further [b]before you use this company[/b]September 9, 2010 at 5:00 am #202125AndrewKeymasterThat was my first reaction too costaricafinca….

all any of you have to do is click on the web site. What better place to get info about homeless than from the homeless. I suppose you didn’t know there were any homeless people in your new country. Most people in your old country don’t know they have any either, not to mention a team representing their country. See the video Kicking It!September 12, 2010 at 2:14 pm #202127YvetteMember[quote=”Scott”]That was my first reaction too costaricafinca….

I gave you more credit than this kind of response.
I merely suggested going to the source (a former homeless person/group) to answer donna’s question. and a source that might be of interest (actually to all of you). The World Homeless Cup begins next sunday Sept.16 – 19. It is great fun to watch no matter which country you are a patriot or X patriot of.(Team Costa Rica made an impressive debut at the 2009 Milan Homeless World Cup finishing in 14th place. Costa Rica intend to bring a wonderful spirit to their second Homeless World Cup appearance in Rio. Final Position: Milan 2009 – 14th)
Imagine 14th in world competition in its first year of participation. Much more fun than any bowl game i ever saw.
My only negative reaction was the swoosh but it is good to know they do something positive.September 13, 2010 at 11:50 am #202128MinuitMemberDoes anyone know the name of the [b]organization that buy’s and sell’s property[/b] with the profit’s supporting the poor and homeless children in C.R.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think Scott and CRF were referring more to a realestate company who buys and sells properties and not to the link you gave.
I’m sure your organisation is very good, and maybe they know what the lady was looking for, but as far as I am concerned, I hardly believe any realestate agency in Costa Rica would do business to give their profits to anyone.
Have a good day Yvette !!!September 13, 2010 at 12:17 pm #202129costaricafincaParticipantThanks [b]minuit,[/b] our response was to the original post.
I didn’t really know how to respond to [b]Yvette’s[/b] diatribe, as I am only too aware of the plight of homeless people all over the world, especially here in our own backyard…September 13, 2010 at 1:10 pm #202130tpbMemberClassic hustle! Query – reply on a forum to further self interest.

thats part of the essence of A forum.you can decide,from the regular posters who’d you’d break bread with.September 13, 2010 at 8:38 pm #202132costaricafincaParticipant[b]Dougdonna[/b] this may not be what you are looking for, but Gail Nystrom of the [url=http://www.crhf.org/]Costa Rican Humanitarian Foundation [/url] will know if there [b]is[/b] such an organization.
