School Children in San Jose

If the number of children we saw in San Jose is any indication, the population of Costa Rica must be growing at a healthy clip.

A few of the children we encountered on the streets of San Jose approached us with hands extending asking for .00 in return for letting us take their photograph. I’ll admit that I’ve paid a kid (and a few adults) a dollar to take their picture a few times in past travels, but this time I didn’t. I’ve got mixed feelings about the practice. No doubt the person receiving the dollar can use it, but I question what kind of work ethic this is teaching them – and especially the children.

The photo taken here was gratis – and from a little distance away. We saw more than one group of uniformed school children, all wearing dark blue and white freshly laundered uniforms, and bright smiles. Those seen here are waving at our bus as we drive through the streets of San Jose.

It is also a customary action by the financial institutions or lenders that they conduct frequent visits. During the visits, they usually ask for detailed report for the costs incurred just to ensure that the resources are utilized in the proper manner.
