COMMUNAL PROJECT HISTORY: LIGHTING OF THE RQ SPORTS PLAZA
In the ordinary general assembly of the ADIRQ of December 2012 one of the members presented the motion to make the request to ICE about installing lighting to the Rancho Quemado sports plaza, apparently some people took interest.
The board of directors thought it was a good opportunity to strengthen the communal sports activity as well, being an attraction and an easy way to organize activities that work to raise community funds, for which secretary Jessica Roldan was delegated to investigate the procedure. At the beginning of 2013, on an outing to Puerto Jimenez, she went to the ICE office, where the first thing they asked was if they had a deed from the plaza in the name of the ADIRQ, and fortunately they did, they told her that an initial request must be submitted by the ADI, so that, in order not to waste time, she drafted it on a sheet of freehand and with this the process was started. Then, legal documents and a copy of the plan and the land plot were sent by e-mail to the ICE Rio Claro development department. And an inspection visit was scheduled by the ICE engineers to determine the suitability of the land and its dimensions, which was approved, the next step was to receive the agreement information where the ICE assumes the technical and execution part, but to the ADIRQ It corresponds to the purchase of the list of required materials that was once attached to the mail, and presented to the board of directors with an approximate amount of 3500 000 colones, at that time the ADIRQ did not have the necessary money, every year by law , about 2 million colones are received to cover the administrative expenses and execution of communal projects of the work plan, but it was thought to organize activities to gather the funds in conjunction with the RQ sports committee, and in this way the commitment of the project was assumed and proceeded to make quotes in various hardware stores. To the surprise of everyone when receiving the quotes, everything amounted to 9 million colones, more than 3 times the amount originally estimated !! This due to an outdated price of the list they gave us, was a decisive moment, the ADIRQ board of directors and sports committee had to assess whether to continue or discard the project, there were conflicting opinions, but the president of that period, Mr. Johnny Rodríguez who is also a Christian pastor, gave an injection of faith and hope to the comrades and motivated them to take on the challenge, trusting that with the help of God we would achieve it and that's how it was, everyone took on a task, Nuria Ureña at that time treasurer of the committee of sports and had already submitted the application for collaboration of the municipality of Osa, through the sports cantonal committee of Osa, communicating by phone and moving to city cuts in the municipality to motivate them, despite the fact that she was in her last term of continuous pregnancy to achieve it, the mayor don Alberto Cole pledged to support the project, and came personally to deliver the check the contribution to the community but being here and receiving the news of increased purchase amount, we also needed to request a little more input from the municipality, who understood the situation and helped us. Also, the Rancho soccer team registered for a 3-month championship with the objective of winning the first place and contributing the total prize money for this project. Jessica also presented a project to the Corcovado Foundation in its FACOSA program ( Support funds to the communities of Osa) that contributed a donation of $ 3,000 to conservation projects, and it was a challenge to demonstrate that the lighting of a sports plaza contributes to conservation, the justification was the importance of leisure and healthy recreation of a community within the forest reserve, a vulnerable but also social environment that requires healthy, recreational activities that give the opportunity to generate economic resources for community works that improve the quality of life of its inhabitants .. and was approved, but also this was an additional pressure, since they only give a 3-month execution period which meant that the total amount to be bought The materials should be assembled as soon as possible. Finally, the ADIRQ provided all available funds to complete and the purchase was made in a hardware store of Pérez Zeledón who presented the best offer with transportation included. The whole community was very happy and it was agreed in a meeting of the directors to request ICE to send a technician to carry out the receipt of the materials, since there was not much local knowledge about this lighting system. And so it was, everything was received, the technician signed the received photos were taken, and there was only waiting for the crew of the ICE builders. One last challenge was missing, when the builders arrived, the manager warns that the 4 arriostres are missing (something that holds the lamps to the towers) and without the complete material did not start the project, and worst, we no longer had money to buy them, even if we wanted to, then we contacted the ICE project development office and explained the situation. We consulted with the hardware store and it turns out that they were not available in the country and for that reason they were not invoiced and the technician who received the material did not notice that they were missing in comparison with the list requested by the ICE. Given all these circumstances, the grace of God over this people caused the ICE to contribute these missing pieces and execute the project in the last week of the term that we had to present the report to the Corcovado Foundation. On July 27, 2014, the lighting was inaugurated with a prayer of thanksgiving from Pastor and President Johnny Rodríguez and the ADI board of directors and sports committee of Rancho Quemado, being the first community in the Osa Peninsula to have this project that It has been of great social and economic benefit to the community and visitors.

HISTORY PROJECT COMUNAL SENDOR SENSORIAL
|
Starts in 2017 with the need to approach the Osa forest, because we received some groups of young foreigners and we had the surprise that their physical condition was not suitable for 3-4 hour walks, some also had sufferings, and the heat It affected a lot. This is how the Biological Monitoring Committee is concerned with creating a route option closer to the center of the community and identifies this terrain that, although it is small, encloses a beautiful gallery forest around a spring and adjacent to MINAET farms where It connects with forests under restoration up to the top of the mountain where primary vegetation is still maintained, which are potential to be developed in the following stages of the Project. Also in that same year, Roberbal Almeida, a Brazilian biologist who lost his vision because of the research work with felines and the forest lover, also expresses his need to continue being involved with the jungle and to create opportunities for people with limited conditions for have the experience of contacting and enjoying the forest in an accessible way, and we receive support from the architect Laura Philips who was part of the Piosa-UCR team and makes a joint proposal with the community of the design of the path in the flat part of the public street, with areas for touch, smell, hearing, palate and sight; The project is presented to the integral development association of Rancho Quemado, which fully supports the initiative and includes it within the chain of rural tourism. Then Katlyn Tovar, a peace corps volunteer, works for 2 years in the community and gets involved with this project, presenting it to the CRUSA Foundation to receive a donation to build a first stage of the path and the sanitary service. Volunteer groups were also received. They collaborated with labor and small economic contributions to purchase materials and tools. The other resources and labor have been covered by the Biological Monitoring Committee, which has been a challenge, because they work as administrators of this adonorem project and have endeavored to maintain it and continue advancing in the following stages, advising with recognized organizations such as Fundación Yire, UCR, Osa Conservación, and recently received the approval of a joint project with Osa Birds presented to CR-USA Debt Swap to strengthen the complementary project to the trail, a nursery for the spread of endemic, endangered and ornamental species own of the region to be able to condition the areas of the sensorial path and also beautify the communal public areas and tourist undertakings as well as a proposal of regeneration of creeks and springs of communal water.
All this initiative is planned by stages, it has maps and elaborated designs and it works as a proposal for communal work for volunteers and groups that visit us that can be part of the development of this important project. |
