Micro-Project Coordinator:
We would like to expand our reach to assist smaller and more rural community projects around Costa Rica — programs which do not currently meet our requirements for inclusion on our list of available projects.
The Micro-Project Coordinator will help us to define the project and lead it to fulfillment. It’s an incredible opportunity to help us make a difference in the lives of many people in rural areas of Costa
Rica.
If all goes as we expect, this model will be used as a template for opening into new markets, such as Nicaragua and Guatemala.
