Trees For Global Renewal Is Here To:

	Provide support to families and young adults in Guatemala by providing meaningful work (jobs) in the growing, planting and tending of trees. Fair compensation will be accomplished through a food packet and donations for education that in total amounts to fair payment.
	Improve the quality of life by reforesting deforested lands both within and outside of the protected areas of Guatemala . This action will result in the improvement of the watersheds and restoration of ecosystem function for the people of Guatemala .

Financial donations from supporters dictates the amount of area planted and ultimate success of this project!  The success of Trees for Global Renewal is dependent upon the donations received from responsible Canadians and peoples from other nations.  Environmentally discerning and socially responsible citizens will, through this project, be able to improve an environmental wrong, deforestation, and provide support for the underprivileged.  This support provides for some immediate needs and the primary long term need for education.  Education will provide a means of support "up and out" of the poverty cycle in Guatemala.  So it is with social responsibility, and economic and environmental improvement in mind the NGOs with different backgrounds have joined together to accomplish change and make a difference for the environment locally and globally.

Social Responsibility

Trees for Global Renewal provides meaningful work in the growing, planting, and tending of trees. The trees will be planted by underprivileged families, students or other volunteers so that per hectare reforestation donations can assist underprivileged students and families in Guatemala.

Compensation for work will be on a per hectare basis with affected families or students receiving donations of food packets, and an assistance donation for their affiliated school or vocational school. The participating educational facilities include :

          1) Entidad de Desarollo Alcance la Comunidad (ENDAC) Schools will gladly accept donations.  ENDAC is the working arm of Emergency Relief and Development Overseas in Guatemala that is overseeing 17 school programs for the underprivileged.

A variety of combinations of work and workers could be involved in aspects of this reforestation project. This could include volunteers (from within and outside of Guatemala), older students, and other family members (of students).  Different people could be involved in the growing, tending and planting of seedlings. In each phase donated funds are identified to cover the function and would be available to assist the education of underprivileged young adults.

Trees for Global Renewal will work with Defensores de la Naturaleza (Nature Defenders), other organizations and community based schools or projects to help accomplish the goals outlined above.  Some community based initiatives may require a variety of unique partnerships focused on the same goal -- to provide Guatemalans with opportunities to earn part time work, further their education, and participate in the ecological restoration of their own country.
