🌿 Create An Impact.
"It's Cool to be Smart!" — A Core Part of Create An Impact
At Abezza, we believe education changes everything and helps to make the world better. That's why "It's Cool to be Smart!" was born — from a deep passion to educate and inspire the minds of our future.
This initiative encourages children to feel proud of learning, no matter their style — whether they're a bookworm, a hands-on explorer, or a bit of both. What matters is helping each child discover that knowledge, when applied, empowers them. We want every child to know.
It is cool to be smart!
By providing school supplies, educational resources, and visit from guests who share their talents, we help local children in rural areas build confidence, curiosity, and skills that lasts a lifetime. When kids have the tools they need and learn how to use the resourcefully, they're set on a path to future success.
💫 How You Can Create An Impact.
It's easy to be part of this meaningful effort during your stay at Abezza.
✔ Pack school supplies — If you have extra luggage space, include items like pens, pencils, crayons, calculators, teachers supplies or educational games. These small gifts go directly to students who need them most.
✔ Share your talents —Many guests choose to visit and inspire local students — artists, scientist, authors, and more have joined us to create memorable learning moments.
✔ Support local schools — Your contributions help the children at Zion Park Elementary School and King's College — a high school - in the neighboring villages along the Historic Pan American Highway (also commonly known as the Old Northern Highway).
It's truly rewarding to give the gift of education to children — and combining it with your vacation is just a bonus.
👉 Not sure what's needed? Ask us! We're happy to provide recommended supply list and ideas for how you can help.
💬 Together, we can create an impact that inspires children to learn, grow, and one day pass on that gift to others
