Hola! I've been working on a very important project in Costa Rica for over 3 years. The Rainforest Rangers is an edutainment site offering a fun, fast paced game while teaching people about the animals and plants of the rainforest. It's a really fun educational game created to teach kids about the rainforest and conservation! We are trying hard to have a profitable project, so that we can give back to our community and help save the rainforests for the benefit of all!Here is a link to the game! If you or your kids haven't played it yet, please take a look and let me know what you think! http://therainforestrangers.comPlease write me if you have any questions at all! Thank you so much for supporting our efforts! Pura Vida!

Jan and I moved to Costa Rica in June 2009. Our 1 year sabbatical was extended to over 3 years but has now come to an end! My time teaching physical education in a local, bilingual public school called Escuela Verde was amazing and I will miss the kids and teachers. My Spanish did improve. We have developed an edutainment site about rainforest conservation called The Rainforest Rangers and have moved to Phoenix, Arizona to market our site and build awareness about this priceless resource.
