La Paz Global

This school is a non-profit, bilingual, cooperative school located in the Guanacaste region of Costa Rica. The school's mission is: to educate the culturally diverse youth of Guanacaste through experiential learning and enrichment that integrates the local community and environment, while preparing students to become thoughtful, contributing citizens in the global community.

With a dedicated group of teachers, students, parents, and community members, La Paz Community School will act as a model for the multinational Guanacaste region. The cooperative school will work with the surrounding communities to proactively create strategies that encourage sustainable development and conservation. Together, the knowledge of the past, vision of the future, and awareness of the present will foster a responsible community of life-long learners.

Library in West Africa
Summer 2006 the World Children's Project directors traveled to Niger, West Africa, and visited an elementary school in the village of Maorey. World Children's Project directors brought a collection of French children's literature, 60 new chalkboards, chalk, pencils, and playground equipment to Niger as a donation for the only school in the village. The school principal and the elders of the village openly welcomed these donations and were very eager to speak with us about new opportunities to increase literacy in Niger.
