ADOPT-A-SCHOOL PROGRAM

Adopt-A-School Program
Did you know that your Sunny Land vacation allows a Costa Rica elementary school student to enroll and participate in the Biodiversity Educational program known as PROEBI. This program which compliments the students study plan by the Costa Rican Ministry of Public Education (MEP)is held at the National Institute of Biodiversity (INBio). INBio is a non-governmental, non-profit Costa Rican association that promotes better understanding of the value of biodiversity in order to improve the quality of life. The program increases awareness about biodiversity among children and the understanding of the possibilities to incorporate this important natural resource in the social, economic, intellectual and spiritual development of Costa Rican society. Your automatic contribution to this program, referred to as "Adopt a school", provides transportation and entrance to INBioparque, guided tour, take-home learning materials and lunch to less fortunate rural and urban school children who otherwise would not have the means or opportunity to participate in this educational program. Already since February 2001 Sunny Land Tours has enabled well over 1000 children to take part in this program. By understanding and appreciating biodiversity these kids are becoming strong supporters of the nature conservation which in turn will determine the future of the natural wonders that are the core of the ecotourism industry in Costa Rica. Supporting responsible tourism is the key to Sunny Landís success. To our dear valued guests, on behalf of the many Costa Rican children who will benefit from this program, thank you!
