Last month, Árbol de Esperanza won the first stage of an award given by the ULatina and Youth Accion Net. CAA has just learned that Árbol de Esperanza was one of five winners of the Yo Creo prize of the Universidad Latina.  Karen Jara, the director (and a CAA vocal) will receive the prize in San José next month. She will also receive specialized training as part of the award.
 
In addition, Karen wrote to CAA to tell us how CAA’s financial support of the organization is being used: "A woman has been at the shelter due to very serious domestic violence. She has nothing and no home to live in, so we were able to cover a 35,000 colones deposit and 130,000 colones of rent for a house for a month, while we coordinate with the Mixed Institute of Social Assistance (IMAS) so that they can cover the other months at least until December. We will also buy food for this month, and a template so she can cook.” CAA and Árbol de Esperanza are making a difference in the lives of women and their families in the San Ramon area.
