What Volunteers Can Do
Give A Day Global volunteers can spend the day with local staff to prepare for and assist after school programs. Volunteers can also help organize and shelve books for the library that CREAR operates, and prepare supplies to be used in their classes.
A Snapshot of Playa Samara
The quaint seaside town of Playa Samara attracts tourists with its beautiful beaches and adventure activities. Many locals in the region struggle to keep up with rising food and housing costs in the area. In the Guanacaste province, children often attend short school days and are frequently left without extracurricular activities or recreational opportunities.
