Supporting local communities with our Donation Program




On Monday September 7th, the Donation Program of Arenas Del Mar made a great contribution for the local Paquita School, where there are 220 children studying primary school and eager to succeed.

In this first donation we have delivered school materials such as acrylic boards, permanent markers, whiteboard markers, dictionaries, coloring pencils and writing pencils, drawing books, plasticine, paper reams, ink cartridges, glue, scissors, among others, reaching a total contribution of over 1 million colones worth of supplies for the students and teachers.

This program is carried out thanks to great response from our guests who have made donations to the fund and also our staff that are responsible for explaining how the program works, contributing to
the sustainable development of the surrounding community.

Besides, and in an effort to promote environmental education, Arenas Del Mar has been doing workshops at the school. Last Thursday we had the recycling lecture and at the end the children (fourth and fifth grade) had to do a drawing about what they learned. They also received a special gift because of this.
