About our cause

Trekking through parts of beautiful Nicaragua and Costa Rica taking in jungles, volcanoes and Caribbean and Pacific beaches. Project work will be at La Esperanza. La Esperanza is non-profit, nonpolitical and non-denominational and aims to benefit the long-term advancement of education in these barrios in a non-invasive way. Their volunteers go out into the rural schools and assist the teachers, tutor young children, run sports programs, introduce children to computers, and help stimulate an interest in learning. At Playa Caletas (a nesting site for mainly Olive Ridley turtles) the team is hope to see a turtle laying and possibly even baby turtles hatching from their nests. The team will be taught the basic skills for monitoring the turtles and collecting the nests so as to be able to help out with this essential work protecting these animals. Other project tasks will include litter picking and clearing the beach as part of Project Aware and general maintenance of the camp and hatchery.
