Planting Trees with School Children - Social Responsibility in Microfinance

Recap of a recent visit to ECC Vivero Datraban in Costa Rica's northern zone.

The activity was a reforestation effort that is part of the ECC's social responsibility efforts. Members of the ECC grow their own saplings and with the help of local schoolchildren planted them around the banks of a local river. The activity will be ongoing and serve both environmental and educational ends.

Great people, hilarious kids, delicious food - it was a party.
