Join Positive Legacy in the jungles of the Riviera Maya at the Kaxan Na’at school for a day of giving back, fun and celebration!
Join us for a day of volunteering at a local school and leave a positive legacy in the place we party! Take a gorgeous, luxurious bus ride into the jungles of the Riviera Maya to Kaxan Na’at, a local school built by one of Positive Legacy’s partners in the region, the RCD Foundation. With the school structure built, the next goal is to finish the kitchen and get the school operational. They have no power out there yet, but with a little extra human power, we can help them take the next step.
Fundación RCD, A.C., is a non-profit organization that was created to improve the quality of life of the neediest people with the purpose of promoting and favoring equal opportunities in the communities where we work, through three main lines of action: education, development, and health. Positive Legacy has been working with RCD for over 5 years, with them contributing to many of our days of service and multiple local projects.
During the Day of Service on December 13th, we will take approximately 50 Closer to the Sun guests out on an adventure to reinvigorate the school building with a cool new mural, clear an area for recreational and sports use, as well as construct new eco-benches and tables for the kids.
After completing the morning's work projects, we’ll enjoy a fabulous local lunch prepared for us by the local community and enjoy an acoustic set from one of our favorite local bands.
Activities for the day will include:
- Assembling eco-tables and benches
- Painting a school mural
- Clearing land for recreation and sports
