He and Mrs Welby also visited the Hogar Episcopal School, a social programme of the Costa Rican Episcopal Church. This is a home school which provides education, support and healthcare to children, a large percentage of whom are immigrants. The Archbishop heard presentations from the children, including singing and dancing, and also testimonies from their mothers - who had emigrated from Venezuela and Nicaragua - about how much the school helps them.
