Hello.
We are less than a 20 minutes drive from San Isidro de El General, a major city in the South Central part of Costa Rica. we are an Environmental and Conservation Project, our educational project is a “School Farm” where students, volunteers and visitors can participate, learn and help.
We receive volunteers, students, Spring Break Groups, environmental interns locally and from abroad. Also Eco Tour Organizations in Costa Rica and around the world are sending group of volunteers to La Gran Vista every year.
Most of the Organizations we work with are Volunteer groups, looking for programs that help with environmental education, like at our farm.
We would like to know if we could receive volunteers from you; our web site is www.lagranvista.com. Please help us start a grass roots campaign, talk to your friends, family and co-workers to help us promote our organization.
We offer ideal opportunities for graduate students and researchers to extend
knowledge, pursue specific interests, find field work or extend opportunities for thesis material. Undergraduate students who want to pursue a career in conservation often need volunteer work and hands-on experience as a prerequisite. This experience is an excellent way to verify an interest in a specific field. La Gran Vista can provide excellent opportunities for gaining experience and making contacts at the outset of a professional career in conservation.
We think the best way to preserve our Planet Earth is for everyone to become active and lend a helping hand to Mother Nature. We have major problems right now from green house gasses and global warming, to massive land fills that keep piling up, pesticides in our fruit, vegetables, and meat, shortages of suitable drinking water. No matter what town, country or continent you live on we are all together under the same sun during the day and the stars and moon at night. If we all recognized the issues and started to change one bad habit at a time it would an enormous effect on the planet right away, but we all have to do it together, so start today and join us in our struggle to change the course we are on. Thank you for you helps.
We would like to hear from you very soon.
King Regards
