The river race on the Papagayo River (Carrera Papagayo) was a huge success!
Eight teams participated in the race, creating a great community of activism and enthusiasm.
We want to thank everyone who came out, either as a volunteer or a participant. The event would not have been the same without you.
We hope to hold this race again next year, as those who attended enjoyed the event and want to bring it back. The group did lots to raise awareness around the PPP and the damming of the Papagayo. An activist demonstration was organized on a bridge that crosses the river.
Check out this picture. These are the leaders of our sustainable future.
"Que Los Rios Del Mundo Fluyan Libres"
"That The Rivers Of The World Flow Free"
More pictures and stories from the race will be posted here soon.
Free Flowing Rivers is now working to raise funds for our 2008 Road Trip across North and South America. We will be promoting awareness of rivers in danger, creating a documentary on these rivers that may be lost forever. Along the course of the road trip, we will be holding more races, and starting the creation of outdoor community centers.
