PROPAZ Toy Swap - December 1, 2010

  
  In celebration of Costa Rica’s abolition of their army (del Aniversario de la Abolición del Ejército en Costa Rica) PROPAZ organized a toy swap in which children exchanged toy guns and other toys symbolic of violence for ‘peaceful’ toys.   A total of 300 toys were donated by the community.  Of these the Community Action Alliance contributed over 100 toys.  Thanks to all of you who contributed toys for the worthwhile cause.
