This is an eye opening article listing Golfito as one of the our President's priorities. I knew we were RICH in "Naturaleza" - but didn't realize the depth of concern over our areas status on the poverty scale.
The Article:
During a session of the Consejo de Gobierno (Cabinet) presided by acting president, Alfio Piva, 10 of the poorest cantones were identified and selected as a priority of the Chinchilla government.
The selection was made based on reports by the Índice de Desarrollo Social (IDS) del Ministerio de Planificación or Social Development Index in English.
Making the list of the poorest areas in Costa Rica are: Coto Brus, Los Chiles, GOLFITO, Upala, Buenos Aires, Limón, Corredores, Matina, Siquirres, Pococí and Sarapiquí.
These communities will be part of the governments program "Comunidades solidarias, seguras y saludables", getting help in the areas of security, education, health, housing and labour among other problems.
Would any of you have thought we would earned a place on this list??? I will be interested in your comments.
