Join
us in celebration of culture, and diversity and help support education,
health and existing rainforest preservation efforts adjacent to Corcovado
National Park in Costa Rica. Rainforestaid09 on The Osa Peninsula
is a “Fun” Raiser and gives us “One Voice “
and the ability to communicate globally about the important role the
rainforest plays in controlling the world’s climate, temperature,
water and air quality. Through Music, Art and Education, we will show
by examples of how we can reduce and manage our waste, educate our
children and help existing conservation organizations stop deforestation. |
