CRS Tours - Pack for a Purpose

Visiting orphanages

Pack for a Purpose does not condone visiting orphanages, as this can often lead to negative impacts on children. The accommodation or tour company working with the orphanage will deliver the supplies in a coordinated and respectful way so that the children can benefit from them. Your generosity is not diminished because you do not interact with the children.

Project Description

The Los Angeles School is located in Los Angeles, Drake Bay. It serves approximately 20 children in one classroom, from first grade through sixth grade. The school is located in a particularly rural area, and some students have to walk long distances to get to school. It is also the only venue that exists in this community. Being a very rural area, parents’ access to school supplies is often difficult because of the long distance to more urban areas.

Project Description

El Refugio School is located in the community of Caletas, a small but very pretty seaside village in the Drake Bay area about 5 kilometers south of Agujitas (central Bahia Drake). It is a special place because it can only be reached by foot or by sea; there is no public transportation because there are no roads or trails.
