This is an excellent project. I wish I could be there to join its board.
Good job!
Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment Juan.
As a librarian (currently retired), I am always happy to see more libraries being built or expanded! Had the pleasure of spending a few days in Boquete in 2006 and loved the place and the people! If I were there, this would definitely be a place for me to volunteer. Thank you for the article and please keep us informed about the progress of the project.
Hi Terri. Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment. I will try to stay up with the progress.
Good idea that they are buliding a librarie. How was the feira de Boquete?
Hi Veronica.
I didn’t go to the flower festival this year. I didn’t want to fight the crowds and I thought with only one bridge open, it would be more difficult. I have been several times in the past and it is always pretty much the same.
