- The Parque la Libertad Foundation says its contribution extends beyond contracted services to include volunteer work, donations, partnerships and professional support.
- The article argues that replacing the foundation could mean losing resources secured through its management and credibility.
The contribution of Costa Rica’s Parque la Libertad extends well beyond the services it has been contracted to provide. The foundation also mobilizes donations of time, money and materials through the credibility it has built and the quality of its management.
Professionals, students, volunteers, companies and organizations contribute resources that come at no cost to the state. The article argues that these donations have been overlooked in the debate about the foundation’s future.
Replacing Parque la Libertad could therefore mean losing not only its contracted services, but also the volunteer work, donations and partnerships that its reputation helps attract.
