Every year The Utopia Group tries to commit to one social action project that will benefit the children of Costa Rica. Our company is committed to Social Action, and we are one of the few companies in Costa Rica, that has a social action commitment built in to our mission statement.My own commitment to social action goes back to my membership in Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, who's motto is "Culture for Service and Service for Humanity."
I was recently made aware of a very poor elementary school in my own barrio. The school is called Escuela la Pueblo and it is in San Pablo de Heredia. The school, is in desperate need of money and every dollar helps. I am reaching out to friends, Fraternity Brothers, business associates and others who might consider donating a few dollars/colones to the school. ANY help will be appreciated.
If you live in Costa Rica, and would like to make a donation, you can do so through Banco Nacional at the following account:
100-1-004-0000-684-7
The account is under the name:
Tesoreria Cantonal Heredia Centro
Escuela la Puebla
If you don't live in Costa Rica, and are interested in making a donation, please contact me and I will try to get information on how you can contribute. To my Brothers of Phi Beta Sigma, if you can help as a chapter, individual brothers, etc, I would appreciate it.
As we approach the holiday season, all of us having giving on our minds. For the price of a decent lunch, you can invest in the future of some children who really need your help.
Note: If you wish to help, please let us know that you made a donation. Since this is a Cantonal Account with many schools, we want to make sure the money goes to the right school. The school is also looking for a copy machine. If anyone would like to donate one, even a used one, it will be appreciated.
Thank you,
David Anderson
