CREA’s work progresses in countless and infinite ways because of its many volunteers. In 2008 alone, we had volunteers from all over the world help us with diverse short and longer term projects that included:

• Environmental Education activities for schoolkids and adults (Ari Prior Grosch, USA)
• Registry of farming and forestry activities (Sabine Wischnat, Germany)
• Starting a health outpost serving the communities of Las Zahinas, Margaritas (Becky Cridford, U.K.)
• Research and development of a community gardening project on the Cocobolo Reserve (Danielle Gugolz, Switzerland)
• Development of a waste management education and recycling program for the school children of Las Zahinas (Pieter, Switzerland)
• Setting up our database management system (Miriam Rack, U.S.)
• Communications and events (Ann Sasaki, U.S.)

If you are interested in the work we do and would like to help us on a project or longer-term basis, please contact Anita Roy at 415-455-9050 or anita@crea-panama.org.
