Volunteering in poverty bound Costa Rica, Central America. Working at an Orphanage providing care and as an Eco Ranger at a Wildlife Refuge.

West Coast

In August 2015 I plan to travel to poverty bound Costa Rica, Central America where I will follow my dream to Volunteer. For at least 1 month. I will volunteer at an Orphanage helping those in need. I will be a role model, helping them with daily tasks, learning English and playing games and helping them through a tough time in their lives. I will also be volunteering at a Wildlife Refuge where I will be helping maintain tracks and walkways, caring for wildlife and educating people on the importance of the environment and conservation. I aim to raise $10,000 to get me there and to stay for 1 month, but if I raise more I will stay for longer. In the mean time I will be fundraising, working and selling my car and other gear to get me there. I would deeply appreciate any kind of support and help you may give. If you have any questions, words of support or anything at all feel free to email me: cintaroberts@hotmail.com

Thank you so much.

Jacinta Roberts' involvement (page creator)

I am getting involved in Volunteering because I am following a dream of giving back. I have lived in New Zealand my whole life and despite not really having traveled I think we live in the most beautiful place in the world. I want to make some sort of mark on the world and I think it's the perfect place to start. I have always dreamed of making some sort of positive change or impact on the world but never really shared that or thought it would be so possible. I know that I won't necessarily make a big change or solve poverty in the area but I hope and think that I will be able to make some small change on at least one persons life and I think that could go along way. I also want to inspire people to help others in need or in general, whether it means being kinder to a sibling or stranger, or going out of your way to volunteer. I chose Costa Rica firstly because my Volunteer Consultant said it fitted with my plans and said it is a place in need but also because I see a lot of similarities in the way of the importance of conservation, to New Zealand. I have a passion for helping people and the environment and outdoors and I want to take words into action to make the world a tiny bit better. Thank you so much for your time and support I truly appreciate it.
