Bolanos Bay Foundation: provides access
to basic needs, play and wishes for children faced with economic and/or
health challenges in Latin America to enrich their lives with hope, spirit
and happiness.
Through our programs and initiatives
we will give children a better learning environment by improving the learning
conditions by renovation the school and implementing new educational programs.
Overview of Operations:
- Begin operations in El Jobo, Costa Rica.
- Start School Renovations in March 2009.
Our Goals:
- Provide care to children through 3 distinct vehicles:
Education (est. 70% of appropriation): Provide a better vehicle for
education which will include:
- Renovate the existing school to allow for a cleaner
,healthier learning environment
- Train and Educate existing teachers
- Organize in a sustainable way for volunteer work
from local tradesmen
- Introduce qualified educators to teach existing
teachers new methods
- Implement new learning programs
- Supply new books, computers and necessary learning
tools
- Work with all local and national resources to
improve the learning environment
- Create a 3 month internship program for college
students that want to teach abroad
- With adding the internet to the school we will
set up international communication between students from the US and
students from Costa Rica so that can chat online and learn about each
others way of life.
- Special Situation Gifts (est.20% of appropriation):
Provide a meaningful ‘gift’ to a child that has shown extraordinary
courage in the face of adversity (ie illness or social economic conditions):
- these could range from a trip, treatment of illness,
funds for education and learning (schooling, music or sports ), computer,
etc.
- Other (est.10% of appropriation): Since the charity
is dedicated to bringing care and education to children, other opportunities
will be considered to bring meaningful help to these children. Depending
on funds, risks, and ability to implement, the management and Board
will consider other activities.
