The camp headman & Tom discussing renewable energy

Dear friends of The Branch Foundation,

I hope this report finds you well.

It has been a very busy few months. The highlights include a new solar project in collaboration with Solbakken organisation, recruited more volunteers, and held a successful and productive Annual General Meeting! We recently visited the Shan Refugee Camp and, as per usual, the headman was working on a new renewable energy invention. His forward thinking and innovative spirit never ceases to surprise me. It is once again the monsoon season here in Thailand so a good time to strategically plan the year a head.

Our operational costs still remain our most pressing need. We have been spending much time working on different approaches to gain more regular monthly support to ensure the sustainability of the organisation and all of our projects. We are confident that together we can reach our goal and appreciate your support immensely.

If you are not already a regular donor, I do encourage you to consider making your contribution a monthly one. Click HERE for GlobalGiving’s recurring donation option. Monthly contributions enable us to plan in advance and also ensure the continuation of all of our work. Please feel free to share this with any of your friends that might be interested, a collective spirit goes a long way!

This Wednesday is Bonus Day where all donations will be matched at 50% until matching funds run out. A great opportunity to make your donation go that much further!

With warm regards,

Iona.
