This morning we headed out to the Amoena factory in Heredia, outside of San Jose. This company makes bras and swimsuits for women who have had mastectomies. You may recall that one of the student presentations at UCreativa, the Pink Rose project, was related to this company.
Once again, we learned about the labor conditions and had a tour of the factory. Both were conducted by Jorge Montero, Production Manager. This factory is air conditioned and had music playing throughout the shop floor. Our visit concluded with refreshments and the opportunity to ask questions.
The remainder of the afternoon was free time. Various people went to the bank, a museum, or did some shopping or simply took it easy. Later we gathered for book report discussions.
Because there will not be internet access during the trip to Palmar Norte and Alto Laguna on Wednesday and Thursday, this blog may not be updated until late Friday afternoon from Manuel Antonio. Please note that there is a typo on the itinerary posted on the course website. The correct number of hotel El Mirador del Pacifico is 506 2777- 0119.
