Strategic Decisions & Partnerships Foundation Undertakes us$1.0 Million Campaign for Pre-Construction Costs of The Schools for a Sustainable Future Project in Villareal, Costa Rica

The following is an announcement by the Strategic Decisions & Partnerships Foundation, that it intends to construct the Schools for a Sustainable Future near Tamarindo (Villareal) in Guanacaste, the organization is under-taking a capital campaign to raise us$1.0 million dollars to cover the preconstruction costs of the project.

The Schools for a Sustainable Future is part of the Strategic Decisions & Partnerships Foundation’s “grand vision” to create a sustainable world for the present generation and all future ones.  

The announcement was made at a gala event at the Diria Resorts in Tamarindo, Costa Rica on June 15th, 2007 that included approximately 30 distinguished U.S. and Costa Rican guests and senior executives of Strategic Decisions & Partnerships Foundation. Highlighting the evening was a presentation by Peter F. Fiorentino in which he provided guests with an overview of the Villareal Sustainable Schools Project.  

Phase I will begin with the K-12 levels, as well as community and workforce development programs, and a lifelong learning program. The Schools for a Sustainable Future will ultimately include programs at the university level (Phase II).    

The environmentally focused and integrated schools will be dedicated to environmental, economic and social research; the development of clean and renewable technologies; and the advancement of eco-literacy, global stewardship, innovation, creativity, and scholarly excellence.
