Environmental Education
Our
environmental education program began in 2002 thanks to a generous donation from the
Whitley Award Foundation. In 2003,
we worked with 8 schools and more than 1200 local students
participated in our project. In
2006
we added a Natural History Museum of the Petèn
to aid our educational programs.
We
expanded our educational program in 2007 by building a community
library and in 2008 we contructed the local high school and
preschool.
In 2009 we started our most ambitios project to date, the
School of Natural History, a three-year formal program designed
to teach local teens about the environment, and give them a chance
to have a formal education designed by university graduates from
developed countries. In 2010, we had the aid of teachers from
Spain and Argentina to help design and implement our program.
Right now we need your help to raise funds for 2011 to fund 3
teaches for 2 semesters.
Volunteer responsibilities include organizing classes, organizing
resources for classes, teaching, maintenance of museum and education
center, and outreach programs.
Volunteers can also participate in
English Teaching and adult literacy and education.
