Project narrative

On August 25, 2009, a formal handover ceremony was held for China's donation of 1,000 bikes and 10,000 soccer balls to the Costa Rican government at the National Refinery Multifunctional Sports Center in Colima. This donation is intended for children in rural areas. The exact value of the grant is uncertain. This donation was arranged through a letter to the President on November 17, 2008. The government of Costa Rica will receive the donation through the Oficina de Apoyo Social de Casa Presidencia and handle the necessary customs clearance and local transport.
