    I am not only a fluent Spanish-English reader/speaker but also a bi-cultural person who has a broad solid background. I also have a passionate interest in different expressions of music, especially many American styles and their combinations (Folk-Country, Jazz, Pop, Rhythm and Blues, Rock, Soul, and so on), dance, stage and screen, and some other forms of artistic expression.

    At the end of 2018 and the beginning of the year 2019, 900 volunteer collaborators will support the work of the Costa Rican Red Cross during the next holidays. With the additional personnel, the operational actions that will be implemented in the 7 provinces will be reinforced. This will give response and coverage through its auxiliary committees in each region of the country, the institution reported.

    To meet the needs of vacationers, the Red Cross has specialized units: Terrestrial Search and Rescue Unit, KSAR Unit, Aquatic Search and Rescue Unit, Special First Intervention Unit. Operational resources: ambulances, operative vehicles, boats, kayaks, jet-skis, among others.
