This centre was built to train teachers and support students of rural Southwestern Costa Rica. Less than 5 percent of High School graduates from this area pass the entry exam to a public university. The Foundation has recently won a 2-year grant to improve the training of all science teachers from this region, but we cannot start the project until the facilities are ready. This grant does not allow for facility upgrades, so your support is needed to make the centre functional.

Hands-on education in the rainforest is an important part of our "training centre." We now include elementary school children in our environmental education programme. But in order to take teachers, and especially children, into our forest, it is imperative that we have adequate trails. We need to build trails where children can walk into the different ecosystems without difficulty and in a safe manner, so that they have an overall positive experience.
