Ambassador Cianchette and US Marines Deliver Toys to Children During the Holidays

San Jose, December 19, 2008

Over 300 toys were collected by US Embassy personnel and the US Marine Corps as part of the 2008 Toys for Tots Program. Toys collected were given as gifts to underprivileged children in San Jose and the interior of the country including three orphanages, the Costa Rican Humanitarian Organization and two NGOs including Educacion Plus and the RAHAB Foundation.  The Toys for Tots Program began in 1947 and is supported in the United States and throughout the world.
