Dear donors and friends across the world,
Greetings from a very rainy rainforest and we hope that you’re all looking after yourselves? I think we all richly deserve a virtual cappuccino or glass of wine from time to time, right? Not to mention something for which to be grateful.
And, talking about gratitude, read on, dear donors!
From our end, we have two exciting news items, for which we are profoundly grateful. Let’s start with the miracle.
It showed upon one of those days when we were grappling with muddy roads, balky vehicles, fallen trees, sporadic power outages, and the internet on the blink. Yes, there are days like that. Even in this beautiful part of the world, there are days when we wonder, just for a minute, whether rainforests are overrated!
And then – the miracle. A substantial donation to the project. Thank you, thank you, wonderful donor – you know who you are. And believe me, you totally transformed our week!
Now for the second item of news. Thanks to all of the wonderful donors across the world we now have a solid base to expand our forestry program in 2021-22. We can't thank you enough - we are truly humbled by your generosity, and we really can see how we go farther together...
So, as the rain comes pouring down, we’re pulling on our boots and pressing on. We had a hot spell in January which was hard on some of the newly planted trees, but it’s amazing how quickly they perk up when the rain comes back. We’re completing this season’s planting, (and delighted to have a handful of local volunteers to help out.) We’re collecting planting and site data for our records, making new seedlings, and adding the final touches to our planning and budgeting for the 2021-22 planting season.
And, before we close, here are some photos from our recent planting sites.
Look after yourselves, guys. It really does look like better times are coming...
big rainforest love, and thank you for everything that you do. We'll talk soon,
Deivid and the Iracambi Tree Planters
