Group of students aren't calling SOS but they are calling themselves SSS and still need support. SSS, acronym for Students Sponsoring Students is a student managed group which plans events and activities to raise money for the La Paz scholarship program. The events range from school dances, to Halloween events, to beach get-togethers, to camps, to any other activity that is feasible in the warm, beautiful area of North-Western Costa Rica's Guanacaste.
All students interested are allowed to join and participate in SSS. The current group is all girls and ranges from ages 11 to 17. Together they collaborate to plan events in which the community can enjoy while raising funds, sometimes up to thousands of dollars. 100% of the proceeds go to the scholarship program, all these girls are volunteering their time and energy to this good cause.
So far this school year of 2013-2014, in the first trimester only SSS has hosted a Homecoming Under The Sea themed dance, a huge Halloween Party which invites the whole community, and a BBQ. Having raised already almost up to $2,000 in the first trimester, SSS looks forward to planning other activities in the coming trimesters. Coming up will be events such as a movie marathon, a neon dance, Valentine's candy grams and other activities to look forward to.
Make sure that when you have the opportunity you contribute to the event, either by simply showing up and showing support or getting involved in the organization or donations.
