 3
Day Music Festival "Fun Raiser" On The Osa Peninsula
 Be
a part of the first and most important global environmental event
ever to take place in Costa Rica: The first Rainforest Aid music
festival in Costa Rica. June 19, 20 and 21 on the edge of the Corcovado
Biological Reserve on The Osa Peninsula (see
accommodations info). Global Entertainment and Good Time Charley
Productions presents Rainforest Aid 2009 to raise
funds for wildlife protection, conservation, education, health,
employment, sanitation and community improvement projects. Costa
Rica’s best musicians take the stage in the village of Amapola
(Plaza de Garzas Doradas) near La Palma to raise awareness about
the importance of Osa’s rainforest, what National Geographic
calls “the most biologically intense place on Earth.”
Join hundreds of others for three days of
music, cultural, and educational events, including a job fair and
children’s activities. Attend workshops and discussions by
experts in their fields on topics such as reforestation, sustainable
development, tourism, green building technologies, alternative energy
and organic food. The net proceeds from Rain Forest Aid events over
the next five years will directly fund a new Osa-Wide Sustainable
Landfill and Recycling Center, bringing health and new employment
opportunities to residents.

 Your
Contribution Helps Kids, Trees and Monkeys A portion of your ticket
goes directly towards supporting local schools and community as
well as re-building a bridge for the community of Palo Seco.
In addition to helping to plant trees and
strengthening corridors, Rainforest Aid aims to install 4-5 monkeys
bridges over the newly improved road coming into Puerto Jimenez.
Right now 3 species of monkeys are trapped on the east side of the
road and have no way to return to the larger tracts of primary forest
adjacent to Corcovado and part of The Reserve. In cooperation with
ICE ( electric company ) Rainforest Aid monkey bridge efforts supports
the larger corridor regeneration programs by re-attaching de fragmented
pieces of secondary and primary rainforest near Corcovado National
Park.
Your contribution also helps buy re-usable grocery bags for local
stores on The Osa and helps us reduce waste by reducing our usage
of plastic and eventually eliminating plastic grocery bags. Buy
Your RainforestAid Ticket On-Line Today and make a direct contribution
to community projects. Join Manuel Obregon, Evolucion, Akasha, Igni
Feroque, Tawala Reggae Roots Band, Kingo Lovers and Gary Hoey. Manuel
will be performing his Simbiosis Concerto at the festival at sunset
adjacent to Corcovado.
Unite Costa Rica with your Osa neighbors,
with fellow citizens of Costa Rica, and with the world community
in preserving a national and global treasure. Celebrate the summer
solstice at RainForestAid June 19, 20 and 21 on the Osa Peninsula.
