2003 Costa Rica

Community: El Sur/Arbofilia & Tortuguero

El Sur/Arbofilia– B3 partnered with ARBOFILIA to lay a pipeline from a source high in the mountains to a tiny village in the foothills to bring water during the dry season, repaired and improved three rural aqueducts, and constructed two small reservoirs. ARBOFILIA’s mission was to restore the environment and to improve agricultural productivity in areas of Costa Rica that suffer ecological deterioration and economic depression.

Tortuguero – B3 worked with the community to build a much-needed daycare center. In addition, B3 formed “trash brigades” to pick up and catalog the trash that washed ashore, painted the school, and repaired and re-painted the playground equipment.

Teams: February & April
