Poasito Earthquake Pictures

A 6.2 earthquake struck Costa Rica on January 8. Several missionaries and one of our professors from CINCEL (our language school in San Jose) traveled to Poasito, a community near the epicenter to distribute new clothing and coats. The town is in the mountains and it has been unusually there cold in the days following the earthquake. It was so sad to see the devastation of the homes and the conditions the people are living in.
