Social Responsibility and Philanthropy<br />
The Fernando Ortuño Sobrado Foundation, dedicated<br />
to carrying out charitable educational activities <strong>for</strong><br />
at-risk children, adolescents and youths identified as<br />
victims of abuse and neglect, continued its work<br />
throughout <strong>2007</strong>.<br />
Thanks to its contribution, the Asociación Obras del<br />
Espíritu Santo was able to complete construction of<br />
a multi-use shelter in Barrio Cristo Rey in San José.<br />
The 24-hour open-door shelter is home to a large<br />
number of children.<br />
In <strong>2007</strong> the Foundation initiated its educational<br />
scholarship program, whose goal is to provide<br />
economic assistance to students from low-income<br />
families, giving them an opportunity <strong>for</strong> <strong>for</strong>mal schooling and thus helping them<br />
enter the labor market.<br />
On another front the Grupo Financiero Improsa contributed a significant donation<br />
to the Tropical Science Center’s Climate Change Friendly Project. The donation<br />
guarantees the growth and maintenance of 1,776 trees <strong>for</strong> three <strong>year</strong>s, the time<br />
needed <strong>for</strong> the species to acquire the necessary nutrients <strong>for</strong> survival, so that the<br />
trees can mature and contribute to air purification
