C.A.I.R.E.

Centro de Atencion Integral Roger Evans (CAIRE) is a development center built by Fundacion Roberta Felix to provide physical and speech therapies, and specialized education. CAIRE was inaugurated on September 24th, 2004 and will serve as a central location in the community for the disabled children of Aguirre and Parrita to receive care and education. Therapy services are provided by volunteer students and staff from Universidad de Santa Paula. CAIRE also features a library with books for children and their parents. Zaidy Barrantes Mora serves as director at CAIRE in addition to her duties of teacher of special education.

Classroom for disabled students

In June 2003, The Felix Foundation completed a special classroom at the elementary school in Parrita for children with severe disabilities. In February 2005, the Costa Rican government for the first time will staff the classroom. We hope for the government to similarly fund The Center in Aguirre County at some point in time.

In February 2005 the Costa Rican Goverment will be staffing this very special classroom.
