This is Gail Nystrom, former Peace Corp Volunteer in Costa Rica and Global College professor. She has been working in LaCarpio (a poor neighborhood in San Jose) for almost 30 years. This is her foundation.

Gail’s Foundation. She runs a day care for LaCarpio children.

One room in her foundation is dedicated to a women’s business. These are products that they’ve made to sell.

The women show off bags that they’ve made.
