We plant forests around impoverished communities, encouraging the people who plant them to be true guardians of their woodland. We build classrooms in schools that have inadequate or non-existent places to study creating better environments to learn. We raise awareness about global environmental issues and sustainable living practices that benefit the entire planet through film showings and talks.
