Many thanks to recent visitors Angela and friends for thinking to PackforaPurpose.org! They generously brought a back pack full of school & arts/craft supplies to help further the mission of Fundación Amigos del Mar, a community organization based on the island of Tierrabomba which helps keep kids in school through sport & extracurricular activities. Generosity like this goes a very long way! Visit https://www.packforapurpose.org next time you travel & see how you can help too!
