At The Voice of Guanacaste and Philantropics, we have found the perfect excuse to make known and reward all the people who one day decided to uncross their arms and put their hands to work: The people willing to build a better Guanacaste.
Every day, we listen to the news of a province that the drought attacks every summer and leaves it thirsty, a province witnessing unemployment, and with the highest rate of violence against women.
And yes, we are not going to pretend that problems do not exist, but this is a province of contrasts and creativity: we are also the main source of renewable energy in the country, the cradle of much of the Costa Rican culture and tourism, and the headquarters of the largest blue zone in the world.
This is not a coincidence. There are people responding to the problems and challenges of the province and we want to recognize and reward them for being the living reflection of the Guanacaste identity: working people, who challenge themselves daily, who deeply love the bowels of this land and who, precisely for that reason, look after her welfare.
All of them, with their ideas, inspire us to dream and live a better Guanacaste.
It’s time to give voice to the change, so we will give five prizes in categories related to the protection of the environment, culture and social improvement and development, both to people and organizations.
The winners will receive a workshop on how to develop social projects by Philantropics, a 6 months ad’s subscription inside The Voice of Guanacaste and a counseling hours by Yo Emprendedor.
The following are the categories in which you can apply or apply for to that person or organization that you admire so much.
