Annual Donation Drive for School Kids

December 14, 2011 | Tags: Helping Out | Comments Off


ATEC is once again coordinating the annual Holiday school supply drive. This year, we will help the Suri School in Upper Talamanca.

There are 100′s of kids in Talamanca that need help to purchase their school supplies. School starts in February, but we do the drive now so you can have the opportunity to purchase the gift of education for a local student and then present to the conscientious person you want to honor with that gift.

Levels of donating:
• You can donate the actual materials that kids need by dropping them off at ATEC. Contact tmatecadmi@gmail.com if for the official list of supplies needed.
• US$1+ buys some pens or a notebook.
• $35 buys all of the school supplies for one kid for one year!
• $66 buys all of the school supplies for one kid for one year AND their school uniform AND SHOES!
• Or you can adopt a 1.5 kids or whole bunch of kids!

If you’re in Puerto Viejo drop off your donations of supplies or cash at the ATEC office.  Or if you can’t make it there, you can make a credit card donation at the Puerto Viejo Satellite donation page and Puerto Viejo Satellite will cover all the fees so that 100% of your donation will make it to the kids.
