EDUCATION TEAM
To develop academic courses that support Kalu Yala and SMOT in building sustainable relationships with the community of San Miguel and surrounding locales. By providing access to better and more diverse education, we hope that the residents of San Miguel will be able to grow and thrive alongside the development of Kalu Yala.
I am not a teacher; only a fellow traveler of whom you asked the way. I pointed ahead–ahead of myself as well as of you.
