We have put a tremendous effort in developing our fund raising program. We feel that it is extremely important to give all students the opportunity to participate in an educational experience such as ours. It is our goal to provide any student, with desire and motivation, the ability to afford our programs.
With this in mind, Cotinga Tours and Thanksgiving Coffee Company have teamed up to provide students the ability to raise their own tuition by selling "shade grown", "organically grown" and "fair trade" coffee. Students can earn their own tuition, while at the same time learning about, and educating their communities, on such issues as, how consumer decisions effect: our own health, the health of coffee growers, regional and world environmental stability, the economic stability of growers, and the stability of migratory bird habitats.
