Children's Visit to the Center

Summer School Program

 

During the month of January, more than 70 children that participate in the "Summer School" program visited the Nosara Recycling and Education Center. During this visit, the children became familiar with the initiative and learned about the problem of trash and its solutions. The process of separating recyclable material was explained to them, and they had the opportunity to see recycled art handicrafts.
