On December 7th, 2009 a small meeting took place at La Salle University in San Jose, Costa Rica, with the purpose of signing a collaboration agreement between La Salle Distrito de Centroamérica and Earth Charter International. With this agreement, La Salle commits to disseminate and use the Earth Charter in different ways within its educational institutions (primary and secondary schools, universities and higher education centers) in the Central American region. The collaboration agreement was signed by Otto Armas Bonilla, Provincial Inspector; Mirian Vilela, Executive Director of the Initiative and Brother Oscar Azmitia Barranco, Rector of La Salle University, as honor witness. La Salle Central America and Panama involves 30 educational institutions (schools and universities). We hope this agreement will evolve into a fruitful cooperative educational relationship.
The La Salle Institution was founded about 300 years ago by St. John Baptist de La Salle and is now established throughout the world. The Brothers give themselves to the education of children, young people and also mature students. Worldwide they are present in 82 countries, (involving 80.000 educators and more than 5.000 Brothers) and have more than 1000 teaching establishments where 1.000.000 students are educated. For more information about this institution see http://www.lasalle.org

I was ecstatic to find out that Panama was also involve with Earth Charter, I pray and hope for the best for my people, I'm also Panamanian, and I know how much we can learn form Earth Charter, we truly need it, especially the young kids, we must teach them to care for our environment. They both need to evolve into a prosperous relationship with a vision in educating our primary and secondary schools kids, teaching them that they must implement ways for taking care of our planet, better ways for a better and brighter future for themselves and their love one's. By teaching them to build and educate for a more sustainable development.
