Costa Rica Road Less Travelled
Conservation & Sustainability Fundraising Letter

Dear _________,

In ________ of 2005, I will join a group of American volunteers to Costa Rica on a mission to help a struggling community to achieve sustainability. The community projects we will be working on are quite varied, from teaching basic English, implementing environmental projects to protect the Carrara National Rainforrest, and several other community self-help projects such as teaching basic 1st Aid. By making a pledge on my behalf, you are supporting global sustainability projects on a local level, and contributing to a greater world of understanding and awareness. My goal is to raise at least $900 this year. Over 85% of your contribution goes directly to the programs. Please help me reach that goal with your pledge. Your donation is 100% tax deductible and you will receive a receipt for your tax records.

I appreciate your consideration in sponsoring me. Your support, no matter what the amount, is deeply appreciated. You can donate online, by clicking the link below.
