People taking care of Each Other

This is a common sight in the small town of Orosi, where I live.

Usually the caretaker is an older person, taking care of a child. It may be their child, or someone else's.

In some families, the children take care of each other - the oldest child taking care of the next oldest, and so on.

In our house, Ray takes care of the house - and me also. I could not survive without his help navigating the CAJA bureaucracy.

The CAJA is the Costa Rica public health system - that is low cost, but doesn't always provide the best of service.

That is why I use my own Dentist - she doesn't cost much, but her work is excellent.
