A fair-trade cooperative in Monteverde, Costa Rica.
The purpose of this initiative is to promote conscious travelling that looks beyond mainstream tourism. Our aim is to engage the communities and people that make up the diverse cultural and social set up of Latin America. Through this journey, we intend to map out a 'Solidarity Trail' to display the human potential expressed through sustainable development projects in rural and urban communities.
Our journey will focus on five communities and projects:
- Indigenous Communities - Peasant Organizations - Women’s Cooperatives - Environmental Projects - Education and Sustainable Development Projects
Through this expression of solidarity work, we intend to create a strong network between Canada and Latin America.
