In the charity's own words
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.
