Pack for a Purpose

We are proud members of Pack for a Purpose, an initiative that allows travelers like you to make a lasting impact in the community at your travel destination. If you save just a few pounds/kilos of space in your suitcase and take supplies for the projects we support in need, you’ll make a priceless impact in the lives of our local children and families.

PAck for A Purpose logoShould you find, when packing for your trip, that you have a few pounds/kilos of space in your suitcase (remember, we do laundry complimentary!), please consider bringing a contribution for the Pack for a Purpose project we support.  In doing so, you’ll make a priceless impact in the lives of our local children and families. If you opt to bring a sizable donation, we highly recommend placing it in a separate piece of luggage labeled "Pack for a Purpose."  In this way, if the plane to Guanaja is tight on space, the airline will prioritize guest baggage over Pack for a Purpose baggage, which can be delivered at a later date.  Knowing that the baggage is for Pack for a Purpose and benefits the local community may also help the airline avoid charging any overweight fees.

If arriving by Ferry, there are no restrictions on the items being transported to Guanaja.

Project #1

The local schools serve more than 400 children from ages 3 through 12 years old.

Thanks to the generosity of our guests who “Pack for a Purpose,” we can provide many supplies beyond what the school requires for other community projects throughout the year.

 

Project #2

Fiercely committed to “giving back” to the people of Guanaja, Dunbar Rock and a great number of supporters established Guanaja’s first Library and Learning Center in Bonacca in early 2016.

It has been stocked with over 10,000 books donated by guests from the Villa and other visitors, but is always in need of more resources.
