500 students from Casanare will be able to continue their education from home thanks to the joint work between the Tauramena Mayor's Office and Geopark

In order to promote quality education and prevent school dropout among children and adolescents, GeoPark joined the ‘Learn at Home’ program of the Tauramena Mayor's Office by delivering 500 digital tablets that will benefit primary and secondary students from educational institutions in the municipality. .

Since its arrival in the territory, GeoPark has been committed to different projects and initiatives aimed at ensuring quality education for the children and adolescents of the communities neighboring its operations. In 2021, and as a result of the challenges arising from the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company led the delivery of digital tablets to the most vulnerable school population to ensure their educational continuity from home.

During the official delivery event that took place in strict compliance with biosecurity protocols at the José María Córdoba educational institution, the mayor of Tauramena Tele Amaya stated: “We thank and congratulate our good neighbor, GeoPark, for continuing to contribute to the development and transformation of our territory and for supporting us with this delivery that will allow us to guarantee the continuity of the academic training of our Tauramena students.”.

For her part, Luisa Vargas, manager of Neighbor Relations at GeoPark, expressed: “We are convinced that the joint work we are developing with the Tauramena Mayor's Office contributes to improving the quality of life of our neighbors. Education is one of the fundamental pillars to ensure sustainable development, which is why at GeoPark we will continue to contribute decisively to make quality education a reality in the territories where we operate.”.

Since the United Nations defined the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), GeoPark has aligned its socio-environmental projects to promote the achievement of these goals and contribute to closing gaps. This delivery responds to SDG 4, as the Company is contributing to the promotion of inclusive, equitable, and quality education and to the generation of learning opportunities for all.

With this donation that will benefit 500 students and their families, GeoPark reaffirms its commitment to continue consolidating itself as an ally of its neighboring communities and development.
