They are vulnerable to hungry jaguars but also to poachers who will either kill them for their meat and shell or steal their eggs. GVI is working to support Tortuguero National Park in their anti- poaching efforts.</span></p>

The school and community has very limited infrastructure and we are raising funds to enhance the children’s education. We would like funds to buy more books, teaching supplies and materials to renovate a room in the school that we can use as the GVI classroom.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"> </span></p>
