SCLC Provides School Packs to Earthquake Victims


In what was the first, of hopefully many mechanisms in which the SCLC is helping victims of the Cinchona Earthquake which occurred on Jan. 8, 2009, the SCLC donated 45 school packs and 15 toy packs to children who were affected by the earthquake.
One of SCLC’s ongoing donation programs is our “School Pack” donations. For just $10 a donor can help purchase a pack of school materials. These materials are then donated to the neediest persons in the local communities.
The SCLC is happy to be able to provide this small ,yet important donation to the community of San Miguel which was heavily impacted by the earthquake. With school starting in just a few weeks, these were important items for families who are trying to return some normalcy to their lives.
The SCLC will continue to work with the National Emergency Commission, the Fuerza Publica and the local Police to coordinate volunteers for community service projects in the region. Look for updates on this progress soon.
If you are interested in helping with the recovery efforts please contact us at commdev@learningcentercostarica.org or by phone in Costa Rica at +(506)- 2766-6482.

Welcome to the SCLC Blog!



Welcome to the debut entry of the Sarapiqui Conservation Learning Center's new online blog: "SCLC Seeds." Starting in January 2009, the blog will be regularly updated by those who are sowing the seeds of activity at the SCLC: the volunteers! The bloggers will post on the progress of our 2009 programs, both old ones and new ones, as well as offer personal insight on what it is like to live, work and play as an SCLC volunteer.





We invite you to check back regularly for new postings and information, as well as to leave comments and questions for our "bloggers."Thank you for visiting us online, and we hope you consider visiting us in Costa Rica as well.





Pura Vida,


The SCLC Team
