A Different Life
Two years ago Davys and his wife decided to leave the busy capital of Costa Rica to move to this little village, Punta Morales. Here Davys did not only find tranquility and a beautiful place to raise their son, but also employment at the shipyard and a new found passion for sustainability and wooden shipbuilding.
Two years ago my wife and I decided to leave San José and come to live in Punta Morales because we wanted something different for ourselves and our son, and believe me, it was the best decision we could have made.

I had the opportunity to work at the Shipyard on the construction of Ceiba and the experience has been incredible from the first moment I realized that this project is more than the construction of a cargo ship, it is a sailboat that not only moves thanks to the wind but will also have a carbon-free engine. I feel that Ceiba's economic and social contribution will be a great help and example for many people. Working and being part of something in order to take care of the planet is rewarding. It is one more reason to strive for and give the best of ourselves in our work.
Many have benefited thanks to Ceiba. The project has served a great purpose in benefiting the families of those who work here. It has also been beneficial for all the nearby businesses thanks to the workers who are part of the project.

The creation of the education center within the shipyard has been very positive. Members of the nearby communities have been able to participate in the courses that have been taught. To name a few: boat building, blacksmithing, English classes, among others, providing learning (free of charge) and growth for all.
I think that the people who live in Punta Morales feel deep gratitude to those who make it possible for something so great and important to take place in our community. I hope to continue being part of this wonderful project, to contribute to it, and to strive for this to continue with the momentum it carries.
And let it be the beginning of many good things to come!

Una Vida Diferente
Hace dos años mi esposa y yo, decidimos dejar San José y venirnos a vivir a Punta Morales porque queríamos algo diferente para nosotros y nuestro hijo, y créame ha sido la mejor decisión que he tenido.
La oportunidad de trabajar en el Astillero en la construcción de Ceiba y la experiencia ha sido increíble desde el primer momento, me di cuenta que este proyecto es más que la construcción de un barco de carga, es un velero que no solo se mueve gracias al viento sino que también poseerá un motor libre de emisiones de carbono, siento que el aporte económico y social de Ceiba será una gran ayuda y ejemplo para muchas personas.
Trabajar y ser parte de algo que está en pro de cuidar el planeta es gratificante, es un motivo más para esforzamos y dar lo mejor en nuestro trabajo.
Somos muchos los beneficiados gracias a Ceiba, ha servido para que las familias de los que laboramos aquí, sean beneficiadas. También es provechoso para todos los negocios cercanos gracias a los trabajadores que son parte del proyecto.
La creación del centro de aprendizaje dentro del Astillero, ha sido muy positiva, miembros de las comunidades cercanas han podido participar en los cursos que se han impartido, por mencionar algunos: construcción de botes, creación de herramientas, clases de Inglés, entre otros, aportándoles aprendizaje y crecimiento para todos.
Creo que el sentir de las personas que residen en Punta Morales, es de agradecimiento a los que hacen posible que algo tan grande e importante esté en nuestra comunidad, espero seguir siendo parte de este gran proyecto para aportar y esforzarme para que esto siga con el rumbo que lleva.
¡Que sea el inicio de muchas cosas buenas, por venir!
