Would you like to see the "Real Costa Rica" while you are here and get involved by giving of your time and talents?

We would like to be an "avenue" of giving for you if this is meaningful to you. We, as a company, reach out in times of need to the local people and also with various organizations such as orphanages, schools, hospitals, senior homes, education for learning English, the Rehab centre and many others we believe are organized and will put money and gifts to good use.

We believe that we are blessed when we give to others and that by reaching out and getting involved, you will receive more than you give in the end.

A book translated to Spanish for the little ones. Cary Ann Meade was inspired to write a book for kids (ages 3-8) called "My little Pocket Bear". After staying at Villa el Cantico 2 years ago, she told me she wanted to translate the book into Spanish and give a copy to a school. On June 9th, her husband and group of friends came for 10 days once again to enjoy Villa el Cantico in Manuel Antonio and to give out these precious books. As a friend translated for her, Cary Ann told the kids to "follow their dreams" do what they love as she has found to do in her sewing. Surprisingly the children put on performances for us at the school.
