Everything You Were Wondering

To my dear followers:

I would like to apologize for the chaos. But as you may have already noticed from my past posts, my life in general is rather hectic, in a positive way, of course.

But now, the moment you've all been waiting for-- in this post I will actually explain to you the projects I assist in and their objectives.

Students Sponsoring Students (SSS):

(Need to make a website!)

La Paz Community School, located in Flamingo, Guanacaste, Costa Rica, is a community based school, with a very wide diversity. The surrounding area in general is very diverse and the population consists of many expats. The problem with too many expats in an area is their ignorance towards the local culture. The school focuses very much on the integration of different cultures. 

SSS is a group primarily run my students in the secondary school that either plan fundraisers for the scholarship program or organize events to unify different cultures. The scholarship program at La Paz is very emphasized and distinguishes La Paz from other expat schools permitting people from all over to attend the school. 

The projects is timeless therefore has no specific goal, but the overall objective is to integrate different cultures in the school and all be able to contribute our differences for the bettering of our lifestyles.

Abriendo Mentes

Abriendo Mentes is an organization helping the development of local Costa Rican communities providing necessities, whether tangible or abstract, to those in need.

I volunteer specifically in the Women Empowerment group which is a teaching experience to women from the local community. With the collaborated efforts of the women and other expat volunteers innovative ideas are put into work in order to better everyone's situation.

Again, this project is timeless and the objective would be to empower and educate.

Blue Revolution

Blue Revolution is a group of people working towards a sustainable ocean by promoting responsible fishing. This is achieved by a series of presentations, encouraging buying locally, and discouraging any sort of economical support towards big corporation fishery industries.

The link above is the blog of a friend of mine who has taken over the Blue Revolution project. I work with her to achieve our goal.

Thank you. Let's continue working for a better world and we will succeed!
