Our Commitment to Social Responsibility
Our commitment to social responsibility is deeply ingrained in our corporate ethos. For many years, we have proudly partnered with Pack for a Purpose (PfaP). Through PfaP, we’ve been able to channel the generosity of our travelers towards meaningful projects, leaving a lasting positive impact on local communities in need.
The response has been nothing short of inspiring. Visitors to Costa Rica have embraced the opportunity to contribute to local initiatives supported by PfaP, reflecting a genuine desire to make a tangible difference during their travels.
Supporting Hogar Brotes de Olivo
Supporting projects like Hogar Brotes de Olivo is why we do it. This children’s home provides a temporary haven for vulnerable kids, offering essential care and support in high-risk situations. Despite the tireless efforts of the staff, the home often grapples with shortages of basic necessities.
- Diapers, baby formula, and soap
- Toothbrushes, toothpaste, and shampoo
- Funds for maintenance, like roof repairs
One group of travelers from Germany donated funds to repair the facility’s roof and metal posts, significantly improving the maintenance of the facilities.
Why We Partner with Pack for a Purpose
