Dear PATT Supporter,

We had some great times last month with Fun Day (27 Feb) at Bangkok Patana School, three great days planting trees with the Year 1 students from NIST in Phra Pradaeng, and we have teamed up with International Parenting Network who aim to improve access to support and resources for parents in the Bangkok area. They pledge to plant a tree for each new member joining them this year. So if you have children at an international school in Bangkok, consider IPN.

Tabanan, Indonesia project kicks off! – The slopes of Mount Batucaru have the largest areas of reasonably intact wet rainforests on Bali. To date, it has proven impossible to gain permission to work inside these forests. Only now have we gained the first agreements to begin working there. This project proposes to plant 4,000 native trees in the forest adjacent to the village, Desa Sarinbuana in the Tabanan Regency. The people of Sarinbuana decided some time ago to protect the forest for which they are responsible. It is considered to be perhaps the best example so far of a local community committing to forest preservation.

Songkran EcoKids Camp – Register Now! – The next EcoKids Camp is over the Songkran Holiday. Dates are Monday, April  12th – Friday, April 16th, 2010. Don’t let your child miss the chance to be part of these exciting eco-activities in a fun and interactive camp. It is open to children aged 6 – 11 years and activities vary with each camp, but always include outdoor fun and hands-on learning. All activities are supervised by professionals at 1:5 adult/child ratio. Please register before March 31st, either online or fax this form.

Jebsen & Jessen – Jebsen & Jessen Marketing (T) Ltd. and Fujitsu Air Conditioner have launched their campaign “Plant and Energy” by donating to plant trees with PATT in Khao Yai National Park for all customers who buy Fujitsu Air Conditioners.
