The accommodation or tour company working with the orphanage will deliver the supplies in a coordinated and respectful way so that the children can benefit from them. Your generosity is not diminished because you do not interact with the children.

Project Description
The local community school of Bocatorito is located on Isla San Cristobal within the archipelago of Bocas del Toro, Panama. This island is totally off the grid, with no electric power and has no roads nor vehicles. Our mission is to provide school and light medical supplies and eventually solar panels to power ceiling fans. The project benefits 28 local school children ages 6 through 12 years old and the entire community of Bocatorito.
