Hurricane Otto hit Costa Rica resulting in countless human and material loss. Entrepreneur Ann Marie Puig, led community efforts to aid victims.

SAN JOSE, COSTA RICA, December 6, 2016 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Hurricane Otto hit Central America on November 24th and 25th, 2016. Forecasters said Otto's landfall location, near the border between Nicaragua and Costa Rica, is the farthest south on record that a hurricane has ever hit Central America. This portion of the isthmus is not used to hurricane landfalls and due to its steep terrain, is very prone to flooding and landslides. In Costa Rica, 9 were reported dead and hundreds have lost everything, despite evacuations and other precautionary efforts.

The entire country has been touched by the countless stories of devastation stemming from northern Costa Rica. It seems like these accounts have inspired individuals to reach out and help in various ways. Among the most important benefactors are Costa Rica entrepreneurs like Ann Marie Puig. Not only has she contributed personally, but she managed to create an effective platform for others to do so as well.

Thru a local church, Ann set up a collection center where contributions from the congregation as well as friends and family were received. This successful initiative required the coordination of many volunteers who classified and properly packaged all goods obtained. Within a couple of days, a truck full of aid left the church in route to the communities of Las Pavas and vicinity, where grateful hurricane victims benefitted.

Thru Ann Marie Puig's leadership, several communities affected by Hurricane Otto, received life-sustaining aid in a great time of need.
