Give and Surf Karaoke For A Cause

Success!  On Saturday, October 13, Mamallena graciously hosted Give and Surf‘s Karaoke For A Cause fundraiser. 100% of the raised money goes to the development of the new community center here in Bocas del Toro. With a smoothly executed event, Give and Surf raised $1,025 by selling Give and Surf merchandise, entry tickets – which included a delicious cup of jungle juice, and raffle tickets for local business services and products.

New and Improved Bocas del Toro Community Center

The community center opened in May 2018. It is the third and biggest of Bocas del Toro’s past community centers. For those of us who are not aware, the community center is the green house located in Las Cabañas on the beach next to the fair entrance.  Art activities, books, games, and sports equipment are available around the clock for children’s use. Children are welcome to come and go as they please during open business hours. The community center is offering different activities every month such as environmental education with the Sea Turtle Conservancy, lacrosse with Lacrosse the Nations program director Caroline Rath, Taekwondo with Alex Cisneros, Yoga for the Mind and Body with Melissa Coton, science experiments and sports with the School for Field Studies, and an English class with plans under way to offer bilingual “story time” in November 2018. Currently the center is open Sun-Sat 2pm – 6pm, Sat 9am – 12pm. 

Playing Outside The Community Center

The center has their sights set on offering a morning-time summer camp in January and February 2019. This program will require advance sign-up as there will be a limited number of spots available. All of the regular afternoon programs, requiring no advance sign-up, will continue as scheduled.

Karaoke For A Cause was a fun-filled event with creative renditions of some of our favorite pop songs. Smiles and laughter filled the beautiful outdoor space and deck at Mamallena’s hostel with positive vibes about contributing to such a wonderful project.  Attendance of supporters was paramount to the success of the fundraiser and it was a huge success!

Karaoke Por una Causa  de Give and Surf

¡Éxito! El sábado 13 de octubre, Mamallena generosamente fue el anfitrión del evento para recaudar fondos de Give and Surf  Karaoke For A Cause (Karaoke Por una Causa de Give and Surf). 100% del dinero recaudado va hacia el desarrollo del nuevo centro comunitario aquí en Bocas del Toro. Con un evento bien ejecutado, Give and Surf recaudó $1,025 al vender mercancía de Give and Surf, boletos de entrada- los cuales incluían un delicioso vaso de jugo de jugla, y boletos de sorteo para servicios y productos de negocios locales.

El centro comunitario abrió en mayo del 2018. Es el tercero y más grande de los centro comunitarios anteriores en Bocas del Toro. Para los que no saben, el centro comunitario es la casa verde ubicada en la playa a lado de la entrada de la feria en Las Cabañas. Actividades de arte, libros, juegos, y equipo de deporte están disponibles durante todo el dia para que los niños los puedan usar. Los niños pueden llegar y retirarse cuando quieran después de que  esté abierto el centro. El centro comunitario ofrece diferentes actividades cada mes como por ejemplo educación ambiental con el Sea Turtle Conservancy (Conservación de la Tortuga Marina), lacrosse con el directora del programa Lacrosse the Nations Caroline Rath, Taekwondo con Alex Cisneros, Yoga for the Mind and Body (Yoga para el cuerpo y el Alma) con Melissa Coton, experimentos de ciencias y deportes con School for Field Studies (Escuela de Estudios de Campo) y clase de Inglés con planes de ofrecer “hora de cuentos” en noviembre 2018.

Give and Surf tiene su visión puesta en ofrecer un campamento de verano por las mañanas en el mes de enero y febrero del 2019. Este programa va a requerir un pre-inscripción ya que el número de puestos es limitado. Todos los programas regulares, no requieren una pre-inscripción, y continuarán ofreciéndose en las tardes.

El evento estuvo lleno de diversión con interpretaciones creativas de algunas de nuestras canciones favoritas de pop. Las sonrisas y risas llenaron el hermoso espacio exterior y la plataforma en el hostel Mamallena. ¡La asistencia de los partidarios fue fundamental para el éxito del evento para recaudar fondos. La verdad es que fue un tremendo éxito! Los generosos negocios de Bocas del Toro que donaron a la tómbola son:

 

  • Avhi Astor-Golden
  • Bocas Blended Bus
  • Bocas Ebikes
  • Bocas Fight Gym
  • Buena Vista Restaurant
  • Cosmic Crab Resort & Restaurant
