BONGO
The day the music didn't die
Against all odds, in a sketchy neighborhood in San José (Costa Rica),
the music didn't die. An old humble garbage collector found something
far more valuable than his regular recycling cans. In the middle of
the street, was lying a malnourished, weak bulge that had been run
over by a car. This was no garbage, and definitely, not a can that
could get him some extra coins. Nevertheless, someone who has suffered
knows exactly how to give a hand to those in need. There was space on
his wheelbarrow to carry something different from the regular picks,
but that also was disposed and left behind. He placed the suffering
dog on it and took it to a neighbor, who was a volunteer at
RESCATE ANIMAL, hoping that she would get the resources to
give it some relief. She took it to one of the volunteering veterinary
clinics, where after 4 months of tender love and care, the beat of the
Bongo was given a second chance (and a home far away from the
streets).
Since that day, Bongo's music has filled the heart of many, all the
way from tropical Costa Rica to Scandinavian Sweden.
