Hi everyone! I go to Coz several times a year. I am fortunate to leave my gear at Scubarepair and Javier sends it to where I'm diving when I get there. Thus my luggage is somewhat lighter and I am able to shuttle things down for the less fortunate kids on the island. So my plea is that if you have extra room in your luggage can you bring an item that could be used by a child. You could bring a Christmas gift also and it will be delivered at Christmas. Ask a dentist if they have sample toothbrushes. Also if you can bring a backpack for the kids to use for their school books.
Now if you dont have that ability to bring something and still want to help, just go to Mega or any store on the island and stimulate the economy there with a purchase for a kid.
I have a dive shop buddy that will deliver these goods. The shop will not be named because this is not to solicit business so please dont ask. It will get done anonymously.
I know most of us have had tragedy in our areas at home, it seems epidemic but 15$ goes a long way for a gift there if you can spare that amount.
I will personally be taking toothbrushes and toothpaste out to the families in the middle of the island. We will likely take other items out then too.
I cant wait to meet you all at the hotel and through diving. It's getting sooooo close! Thanks for helping. If you have other ideas to help less fortunate kids there, let us know. be well kevin
