Dear Supporters of GECKO,
I hope everyone is enjoying the onset of warmer weather – we’ve been keeping busy in Shanghai and around China as it begins to get hot and muggy.
The end of April saw our third annual Earth Day event, which was a lot of fun! Check out a video made by our interns at [http://u.youku.com/user_show/uid_Greennovate] or read a short report at earthday.greennovate.net.
Furthermore, our Greennovate Train the Trainer Program continues to spread to different cities across China - including Ningbo, Guangzhou, Beijing, Shanghai, and Hangzhou. We’ve been training teams of university students, both foreign and Chinese, who will be visiting high schools in Shanghai and around the country throughout the coming weeks. Right now, we have a team of 15 Chinese students who are preparing for a trip to Qinghai province to bring environmental workshops to local schools! Visit [http://is.gd/cgTh6] to watch a video of last year’s Qinghai trip on youtube!
Also this week was the launch of Green Connections, a new way to interact directly with the Chinese youth to whom we have reached out through our non-profit initiatives - GECKO and MaGiC. Published through email solely in Chinese, Green Connections will share best practices from projects at past GECKO schools and broaden student’s knowledge through the latest environmental news!
And in case you haven’t seen, check out our Greennovate Introduction video and meet our team members on youtube at [http://is.gd/cgTh6]!
Thanks your support!
Schuyler
