Each year the management at Morgan’s Rock collects donations and school supplies for the children of San Juan del Sur. This past weekend the Aurora team worked with Morgan’s Rock employees and guests from the resort preparing packets for the students.

Saturday we filled 360 backpacks with pencils, pens, notebooks, erasers, rulers, art supplies, books, crayons, markers, and science supplies. Sports uniforms, science supplies, and first aid kits were also collected.

Monday was the first day of classes for the local children after the summer break. We visited the five schools in the area and gave each student, from kindergarten up through age 14, a new backpack full of supplies and books.

Here at Aurora, we wish to thank Morgan’s Rock for allowing us to participate in such a wonderful initiative. Morgan’s Rock has been a generous, active member of the community in San Juan since opening and we salute their efforts to contribute to the well-being of the local community.
