Near their Selva Verde ecolodge in Costa Rica, Holbrook Travel helped found the Sarapiquí Conservation Learning Center in 1993. The SCLC serves the local community with programs such as English classes, computer literacy seminars, environmental education of all sorts and after-school activities. The SCLC is currently involved in a number of projects to improve education, environmental stewardship and quality of life in the local community.
Their community work includes:
to the Sidewalk Safety Project, financing sidewalk construction
for schoolchildren and bicyclists.
to Rally for Reforestation, planting 500 native trees in a
previously forested area.
to the Text Book Package, donating schoolbooks for student use
outside the classroom.
for School Materials, financing a year's worth of books and
uniforms, one student at a time.
to the After School Program, which provides supplementary lessons
and learning activities for students.
to Environmental Education, educating elementary school
children about their local area.
