 Donation program:
We have stablished a donation program with 4 different Costa Rican
foundations, they will receive $0.20 per each bag of coffee or
8 oz Chocolate covered bag that you sell.
One of these foundations works for the environment: Rainforest
Alliance. Two work for the Costa Rican street children: Home for
Girls and Oratorio Don Bosco. The last foundation in the group is
our own Volunteer Program at the Boruca reservation; here we run
a program to bring retired English teachers to teach the Boruca
artisans basic language skills. These 4 foundations do great work
and your students should get together and choose one so we can make
the donation.
Here is a brief description of what these 4 foundations do:
Home for Girls: works for the well being of teenage girls that
are working the streets of Costa Rica in cities where there is a
large tourist industry. Their program provides counseling, education
and a shelter for girls that want to leave prostitution.
Down to Earth volunteer program: works to benefit the people of
the Boruca reservation in the South Pacific of Costa Rica by bringing
retired English teachers from the USA to teach ESL.
Oratorio Don Bosco: a catholic organization that works for the well being of homeless or addicted children between 6 and 14. It runs a rehab center, a school and a choir which has recorded a CD. It aims to rescue, educate and keep children out of trouble.
Rainforest Alliance: is a foundation dedicated to conservation through sustainable development . Its mission is to develop and promote economically sound initiatives such as the Smart Wood certification and the ECO-OK program. |
