We believe strongly in minimizing our negative impacts to our surrounding environment and we believe in giving back to our local community. We also believe in the transformative power of education for raising awareness about and initiating action for the natural environment and the challenges it faces. For this reason we are implementing the program Building for the Future, a straightforward and tangible program that helps improve school infrastructure and provide needed school supplies.

We are working with Santa Teresa School. With the teachers we have identified specific needs and are hoping to raise the funds needed to purchase the required materials for the schools during the next six months. The focus this year is on supplies for the classrooms, - pencils, paper, crayons etc.; small infrastructure like desks, chairs and shelves.

We support the following programs by working with the 501c3 nonprofit Earth Equilibrium. You can donate towards any package below. Your donations are tax deductible. If you are at Latitude 10 donations can be made directly at our front desk. To learn more about Earth Equilibrium´s work visit www.earthequilibrium.org.

Desks and Shelves

We need 70 desks. There are not enough desks for each student and the ones that exist are broken.  The class does not have shelves for books, so these are placed on the floor.

Fundraising goals:

• 70 Desks: $3,500
• 5 Shelf sets $500
