Faculty Information:
We are an organization that has been working on social and ecological projects along with rural communities from the San Carlos area for ten years. For six years, we have also offered the service of a School of Spanish as a second language and volunteer programs for foreigners.

These two help us support our different projects which are aimed to make people and communities aware of everything they have to improve the quality of their personal, family and community life as well as their environment.

In order to achieve our goals, we give ecological lectures, organize community reunions and promote the creation of groups of Scouts in the rural communities as one more resource to promote values in girls and boys. We also place signs on the side of the roads which have messages oriented to the bringing up of ethics and of a feeling of fraternity towards nature.

We work as a rescue center for wild animals and cooperate in the building of rural projects. Our headquarters are located in a rural area, inside a private ecological reserve. This allows our participants to have a total social and ecological immersion.
