Kids Saving the Rainforest,Manuel Antonio National Park Kids Saving the Rainforest is a unique organization set up in 1999 by then 11- Year-old Janine Andrews and her friend Aislin Livingstone at the Mono Azul Hotel. It collects funds to pay to have rope bridges built for monkey crossings.
At the Amazing Arts Gallery, the girls sell local handicrafts, jewelry and other art items, plus signed copies of their book, The Legend of the Blue Monkey, written by Janine’s mother and illustrated by Janine, Aislin and a friend Carrie Fedor.
The simple, moral story for young children introduces Coco, a blue monkey, who rises above negative peer pressure and remains true to his beliefs. The gallery includes the newest project, “Jugo Mono Rainforest Internet Café,” a full-service coffee shop where you can pick up e-mail, scan photos or documents, make copies, fax, or just relax and enjoy a fruit smoothie, coffee, or herbal tea with friends.
The café and gallery are open seven days a week from 8 am to 9 pm and offer a friendly welcome to all comers. All profit goes directly to the cause. Janine’s environmental efforts were featured in National Geographic for Children in 2002.
