Winter Break in Costa Rica

Escape the wind and rain to experience the beauty of tropical Costa Rica while making an impact this winter. ProWorld invites you to collaborate with us in Pochote, a small village on the Pacific Coast. Come join in the efforts that the town has initiated to create a healthy living and learning environment for local families. Together they have developed arts programs and strengthened their local public school. With your help, we can help the small humble fishing community grow and develop!

Together with the local inhabitants, ProWorld will finalize the project as the date approaches. Possible activities include:

  • Teach English, basic computer skills, sports or the arts to local children
  • Help out with beach clean-up activities and mangrove restoration
  • Design and make murals and signs regarding ecological and tourist information
  • Repair the access road to the community, road side clean up, and put up signs in the public road
  • Plant trees and plants near the beach 

Come with a positive attitude, team spirit, and a willingness to work hard and get dirty. Desire to work and play with children a plus!
