Today we celebrate Father’s Day with group of mothers an association called “nuestro primer centro de acopio de La Carpio” . A group of dedicated lady’s, that have found in recycling a way of empowering their community and showing the little ones the proper way of disposing, conserving and growing as better humans and better sons and daughters to our planet. We want to thank Aude Moullie and and her group for putting this together and to our amazing group of instructors and volunteers and to our surf students for their time and donations to this beautiful foundation. @biosurfcr @marcel_m_oliveira @tortugasurfcamp @melanie_dahler @sams_lugo @zastres @celinemounier @dhuannygabriel @nadoschkakopanoschka @ekojuntodecostarica @mollyglen_ @mschaevitz @annina_rr @cassienelson8 @pulselatam
