Fostering Planned, Sustainable, and Healthy Community Development!

The past month at the Sustainability Demonstration Center has been filled with fun, delicious food, music and art, and promotion of individual and community health!

Some funds from the Guacimal market have been supporting a new Association that has been formed by community members of the district to foster development that is planned, sustainable, and healthy. Some funds also directly benefit the market itself. One great way for YOU to support is to come and eat the delicious food here at the market that is held EVERY SATURDAY from noon to 5pm! Come support this initiative by the farmers and small entrepreneurs of the region!

There are also delicious fresh, home-baked bread and locally produced jellies. What a delicious combination!

In addition to eating delicious, traditional food at the market, you can also buy fresh, local produce to cook and enjoy at home!

Healthy community development not only includes tasty foods, but also lively traditional marimba music that brings people together!

Thank you to the students from the Environmental Kiosks program of the University of Costa Rica for working with our children to educate them about the use of plastics! Education is truly at the heart of sustainability. 

Another exciting activity hosted by the Center was the Neural Stimulation course given by Hands without Borders. Thank you to these amazing teachers and all of the participants!

The Sustainability Demonstration Center continues to encourage participation from children and community members and visitors of all ages in projects that demonstrate upcycling of old materials and improving the footprints we leave on the Earth we share. We invite you and all of your family and friends to join us!
