Story
GVI Quepos helps underserved communities in the Quepos Region of Costa Rica. We support primary and secondary schools through designing and implementing creative arts curriculum, English programs, hosting after school workshops, providing homework help, and serving as cultural ambassadors and mentors to children of all ages.
We are taking on the challenge of building a new cafeteria for Roncador Primary School. In order to keep their funding for school lunches, they are required to cook the food onsite; however, the school has no cafeteria! To solve this problem and continue to provide food to the kids, they have had to put the entire kitchen inside one of the classrooms, so while lunch is being cooked on the stove and served to classes, other students are trying to have class in the same room with only a thin folding divider to separate them. To give the children of Roncador the space they need to learn and grow, GVI Quepos is working with local community members to build a cafeteria in just two weeks!

(*fun mural/art painted by GVI volunteers included!)

No effort is insignificant. Please support our cause today.
