Program Overview

The mission of this program is to contribute to the children of Costa Rica, to promote education, and to ensure their proper physical, emotional, and social development. It supports an early childhood center that provides care and education to local children ages 3–6. The center is where children from working-class parents receive education, make friends, and feel comfortable. Some of these kids also come from single parents who would struggle without the center's help and assistance. No matter their background, these children require care, attention, and most importantly, companionship.

Volunteers care for the children, help with schoolwork, play games, and organize fun activities like sports or arts during leisure time. These kids crave attention and companionship the most, and the attendance of international volunteers is always a highlight for them.
