Dear GECKO Supporters,
After a short break, Greennovate is back in action for 2010! I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season and got to spend time with friends and family.
We start off the new year with great news; with the generous help of supporters like you, we successfully surpassed our donation goal, having so far raised nearly $4,500 from 69 donors! This means we have become a permanent member of Global Giving, which will help us gain recognition from a greater number of contributors in and outside China.
Furthermore, we are pleased to announce that our partnership with AIESEC, the world’s largest international student organization, has grown. AIESEC volunteers Christina Liu, Michael Zhou, and Fini Arifin used our GECKO training and materials in December to present at two Shanghai high schools – Hua Shi Da No 2 High School and the bilingual Shangde Experimental School. The New Zealand student volunteers, who work together with us in order to extend AIESEC’s “Green Power Now” Program, have reached out to over 150 students so far.

On behalf of the Greennovate team, I would like to thank you for your support, and wish you a great start to a new (greener) year!
