In our last report we talked about Miguel who is 14 years old and has been working to reforest the world since he was 7. He collaborated earlier on with Trees for the Future and is responsible for funding and planting over 14,000 trees so far. As you will recall Miguel is also Founder and President of his own non-profit organization, Kids 4 Our World.
They have chosen this project, “For the Monkeys and 60 School Children” as the cause for their fundraising campaign. They have built a brand new website for their group and added a special page for them at our new website as well, where they can receive donations separately.
The wonderful news we have today is that through numerous fund raising projects in the San Diego area, the Kids 4 Our World group has successfully raised all the remaining money to fully fund this project. Plans are being finalized for 13 ambassadors and their chaperones to visit Costa Rica in July, 2015 when they will begin gathering trees for the nursery with finalized planting completed in December, 2015 by Costa Rican children living near the new forest.
Through your kind donations and the hard work of all, especially the Kids 4 Our World, we are proud to announce a new forest of 1,600 trees will be created to benefit the monkeys, the children and the future health of our world. This will decrease the effects of global warming and restore the nearly 90% of tropical Rainforest that has been lost. Through these efforts we will be providing oxygen and reducing the effects of global warming while protecting the native species of plants and animals.
Furthermore, we will be educating local indigenous children to maintain the rainforest, create awareness and care for their environment for generations to come. This project will introduce an Eco-friendly technology such as the "Soccket Ball" to the native Maleku Indians. This innovative technology will combine the popular sport of soccer and humanitarian efforts to provide much needed electricity for Native Maleku Indians while teaching and creating awareness of the importance of protecting our environment for future generations.
