Help Casa Esperanza in Coroma

ATEC is spearheading a fundraising drive to help build Casa Esperanza in the isolated village of Coruma.  The Casa is a dream to give the kids from this small community a head start. The frame of the Casa was built in 2004 but then the floods in January 2005 wiped out all the work that was done, along with wiping out any extra time or hope to keep it going.

"Many of our kids don't speak Spanish,”  explains local community organizer and area guide Zenon, "many don't have the basic concepts of mathematics or even counting. If we can give them a head-start before they leave home to attend school, they will have more confidence and more success."   They are revitalized to re-initiate the project. With a fundraising goal of  $1,100 which would enable them to re-build the Casa, get school supplies and books to them. The kids of Coroma will then have a chance to be prepared when they are ready to head off to go to school in Amubri.

You can help my making a donation below. Puerto Viejo Satellite will cover all credit card processing costs and all donations will be transparent and posted on ATEC's website.

You can also help by participating in a 70km Trans-Talamanca fundraising trek.
