CHILDREN'S ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION

This project commenced in 2003 and is on-going. Each Thursday, one-hour classes are given to the school children (ages 6-12 years) in the village of San Francisco located just north of Tortuguero. Our aim is to increase environmental awareness in the community’s children, and by extension to their parents. The classes are conducted in Spanish and weekly lessons are planned, including out of school activities with the children and some small projects.
