Trees for the Future

http://www.plant-trees.org/projects/honduras.htm

Trees for the Future was started by a Peace Corps Volunteer in the 80's. My host sister from Santa Lucia just informed me that it existed, and right here in Honduras! Almost all the volunteers listed on the Honduras part of the webpage were in my training class but live very far away so I have seen them rarely (if at all) since training, so it was nice to get a little picture into what they are doing.

Don't worry I am not going to try to reel you all into donating, but it seems like a pretty cool organization that people should know about. I hope that reading the page about the project in Honduras can give you a better idea than I could about the country's ecological troubles.

Updates will come next week about the singing contest. As of this moment, we have 635 students attending to watch their classmates compete. These tickets are worth about 6,000 lempiras. The goal is to raise 10,000 lempiras, equal to a little over $500.
