Casa de Yefry, Lucrecia, y Wendy

If you like basketball this is the house for you. Yefry is probably the tallest kid I have met in Costa Rica. He lives with his single mom and younger sister Wendy. This is a great story because this family did not have a house until recently. The government finally helped out in with the funds to build a very simple but nice little home in the center of Sitio de Mata. The house is not yet finished but still very livable. They are proud to show off their new home and have visitors whenever they get the chance.

Lucrecia works in the nearby school as a cook and if you get the chance to stay with this family during your Costa Rica Spanish school stay you will be well fed. She makes sure all the kids in town get fed so this is a house you will not go hungry in. Yefry and Wendy are both studying and Yefrey's dream is to play in the NBA and be a river guide on the whitewater rafting pacuare river. Wendy is 16 years old and loves to dance. They are a great family and very involved in the community.
