My Project

My students are getting the opportunity to travel to another country. They are going to visit Costa Rica. Their families have worked very hard to raise the funds to provide for them a trip of a lifetime. While in Costa Rica they will be visiting national reserves and observing an unparalleled diversity of wildlife. Being able to charge devices to take photos of our experience is life changing.

One of the many adventures the students will have the opportunity to participate in is kayaking on Lake Arenal.

Providing water shoes, sunscreen and lip balm with SPF for the students will ensure they are safe, protected and comfortable. Water shoes that are light and easy to pack as well as travel sunscreen will be one less expense for the students and their families.

This in the first international trip for the majority of students traveling to Costa Rica. Your kind gesture of support will help these student to prepare for a view of the world outside of their community.
