Grace’s experience volunteering in Costa Rica with Casa Pampa

My experience during my the trip to Costa Rica has surpassed my expectations. I decided to come on this trip because I saw it as an enjoyable experience, but I am leaving with greater intentions to better the environment around me. As our trip here is coming to an end, I am leaving with a changed mindset about the world and the effects of our careless decisions regarding plastic pollution. At the beginning of our service, I was not too fond of picking up the plastic on the beach, but now I look forward to doing the same thing back in the United States. I have learned a multitude of ways to solve this problem locally and nationally. There are simple solutions such as building compost piles, recycling plastics, and repurposing trash instead of throwing it away. As an upcoming college freshman, I am challenging myself and my generation to put these easy solutions into effect from wherever you are reading this.

Cabo Blanco Beach Clean up

Hello,

 My name is Hayley and I am a jewellery designer from Brighton in England. 

The jewellery I design is ethically produced in England made by hand from Fairtrade, Fairmined and recycled precious metals and traceable diamonds and gemstones. For me it is crucial to understand how something is made, by who and where, and the impact it has had on the environment and the people involved at each step in the process.

I came to Costa Rica to undertake my yoga teacher training in Montezuma and spend some time travelling the Pacific coast of Costa Rica afterwards.

My first stop after Montezuma was Santa Teresa where I stayed in Casa Pampas surf cottage. During my stay I found out about the Casa Pampa beach clean in Cabo Blanco and asked if I could help, and am so glad that I did.

We walked through the exquisit Cabo Blanco nature reserve until we reached the isolated beach which had been chosen for this clean. The idyllic beach is one of the most beautiful I have seen, with untrodden white sand spilling out from the dense jungle into the wild ocean. At a first glance the beach looks clean, then on closer inspection you start to find all sorts of plastic washed up on shore with the tide and tangled in the mangroves.

I am so pleased that I was able to offer my hands in helping collect some of the rubbish, to make the beaches which I am here to enjoy a little cleaner.

I grew up by the sea In England and feel most at home when I am by the water. My experience with Casa Pampa has inspired me to organise an beach clean at my local beach in England when I get home and I will continue to share my experience with other travellers as I continue in Costa Rica.

- Casa Pampa se une a la red global de miembros líderes para erradicar los desperdicios de alimentos mediante “SAVE FOOD” de la FAO -

¡CELEBREMOS ESTE LOGRO Y CONOZCAMOS UN POCO MÁS DE ESTA GRAN INICIATIVA!

La FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization) es la agencia de las Naciones Unidas que
lidera el esfuerzo internacional para poner fin al hambre. Su objetivo es lograr la
seguridad alimentaria para todos, y al mismo tiempo garantizar el acceso regular a
alimentos suficientes y de buena calidad para llevar una vida activa y sana.


Con más de 194 Estados miembros, la FAO trabaja en más de 130 países y consolida el
proyecto “SAVE FOOD” con el objetivo de reducir la pérdida de alimentos y promover un
diálogo esperanzador entre la industria, la investigación, la política y la sociedad civil
sobre este tema. Con el plan de SAVE FOOD la FAO busca aumentar la sensibilización
pública sobre el impacto del desperdicio de alimentos, y desarrolla una plataforma para
intercambiar experiencias y construir un centro global de excelencia basado en el trabajo
y las prácticas de los profesionales que se concentran en la reducción de pérdidas
alimentarias.


En la primera presentación de la iniciativa “SAVE FOOD” en 2011, Werner M.
Dornscheidt (Presidente y Director Ejecutivo de Messe Düsseldorf GmbH) explicó:
"Nuestro objetivo es que se tiren menos alimentos en los países industrializados y que
los consumidores de estos países planifiquen sus compras con atención. Pero, todavía
más importante, queremos aumentar la sensibilización a nivel industrial sobre las
pérdidas de alimentos, un tema prioritario para el futuro."

Casa Pampa, conociendo la misión y objetivos de SAVE FOOD, se compromete y une a
la red de miembros a nivel mundial para ser más eficientes en nuestra lucha contra las
pérdidas de alimentos en todo el mundo. Es para Casa Pampa un honor poder compartir
estos pilares y trabajar con nuestro proyecto “WASTE FOR FOOD”, en la península de
Nicoya, Costa Rica, que concuerda con la visión e ideología de “SAVE FOOD”.
El proyecto local “Waste for Food” comenzó en 2014 como un proyecto personal de Casa
Pampa para ayudar a desarrollar la comunidad de Santa Teresa. Inicialmente, el
proyecto recolectaría desechos orgánicos de varios mercados y restaurantes cercanos
para el compostaje. El proyecto creció y nació el programa de voluntariado de Casa
Pampa. Después de una cuidadosa consideración, vimos el impacto positivo que este
proyecto podría tener en toda la comunidad y decidimos tomar medidas. Esto nos
permitió tomar la decisión de enfocarnos en difundir y llevar nuestro mensaje al gobierno
y a otros funcionarios. Actualmente, estamos trabajando en conjunto con grupos clave
como la Cámara de Turismo de Malpais-Santa Teresa, la Asociación Probienstar, así
como las ONG ambientales locales.

Como defensores y simpatizantes a los proyectos y planes de desarrollo ambiental,
basados en el concepto de asociación y colaboración, Casa Pampa reconoce que la
cooperación y esfuerzo de todos los miembros del proyecto, voluntarios y organizaciones
importantes es más que necesaria. Con la labor del emprendimiento social sostenible
en la comunidad de Santa Teresa, Casa Pampa se compromete a participar y ser
productores de un cambio ambiental para todos. Trabajamos como colaboradores para
el desarrollo de comunidades y sociedades consientes de la problemática de los
desechos y desperdicios de comida, compartiremos junto a “SAVE FOOD” nuestras
experiencias y métodos de trabajo para lograr un mayor progreso para todos.

Todos podemos desempeñar un papel importante en la erradicacióndel hambre.

- Casa Pampa joins the global network of leading members to eradicate food waste through "SAVE FOOD" of FAO –

CELEBRATE THIS ACHIEVEMENT WITH US AND LEARN MORE ABOUT THIS GREAT INITIATIVE!

FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization) is the United Nations agency that leads the
international effort to end hunger. Its objective is to achieve food security for all, and at
the same time guarantee regular access to sufficient and good quality food to lead an
active and healthy life.


With more than 194-member states, FAO works around 130 countries and consolidates
the "SAVE FOOD" project with the objective of reducing the loss of food and promoting a
hopeful dialogue between industry, research, politics and civil society about these
important topics. The "SAVE FOOD" plan from FAO seeks to increase public
awareness of the impact of food waste, and develop a platform to exchange experiences
and build a global center of excellence based on the work and practices of professionals
who focus on the reduction of wasted food.


In the first presentation of the "SAVE FOOD" initiative in 2011, Werner M. Dornscheidt
(President and CEO of Messe Düsseldorf GmbH) explained: "Our goal is that less food be
thrown away in industrialized countries and that consumers in these countries plan their
purchases carefully, but, even more importantly, we want to raise industrial awareness
of food losses, a priority issue for the future. "
Casa Pampa, studying the mission and objectives of SAVE FOOD, commits and joins the
network of members worldwide to be more efficient in our fight against food losses
throughout the world. Casa Pampa, now is honored to share these pillars and work with

our project "WASTE FOR FOOD", in the Nicoya peninsula, Costa Rica, which share the
vision and ideology of "SAVE FOOD".
Our local "Waste for Food" plan began in 2014 as a personal project to help develop the
Santa Teresa community. Initially, the project would collect organic waste from several
markets and nearby restaurants for composting. The project grew, and the Pampa Casa
Volunteer Program was born. After a structured analysis, we saw the positive impact that
this project could have on the entire community and decided to act. This gave us the
chance to focus on spreading and taking our message to the government and other
officials. Currently, we are working together with key groups such as the Malpais-Santa
Teresa Chamber of Tourism, the Probienstar Association, as well as local environmental
NGOs.
As supporters of projects and ecological development plans, based on the concept of
partnership and collaboration, Casa Pampa recognizes that the cooperation and effort
of all the coordinators, volunteers and important organizations is more than necessary.
With the work of sustainable social entrepreneurship in the community of Santa Teresa,
Casa Pampa, is committed to participate and be producers of an ecofriendly change for
all. We work as collaborators for the development of communities and societies aware
of the problem of waste and food waste, we will share with the SAVE FOOD project our
experiences and working methods to achieve greater progress for all.

Everyone can play an important role in the eradication of hunger!
