Did you know that your support is inspiring the next generation of rainforest protectors?
Thanks to your generosity, children in remote rainforest communities are gaining the skills and confidence they need to build a brighter future. For themselves, and for the forests they call home!
Thanks to you, the After School Program is flourishing. Over the past few months, 58 students have been gathering at the learning centre each afternoon. They arrive excited, eager, and ready to learn. They practice English, learn computer skills, read books, and enjoy creative activities.
The best part, every lesson weaves in themes of nature, wildlife, and conservation.
You’re not just helping young people learn practical skills. You're also helping them understand why protecting the forest matters!
And the kids are truly thriving. Their curiosity, knowledge, and enthusiasm is growing stronger by the week. And it’s all because of you.
Thank you for helping students learn, share, and become dedicated forest protectors!
Your kindness also helps create much needed space for joy and connection. Every Friday and Saturday, students take part in fun, creative activities. They enjoy story time, games, movies, sports, art, crafts, and dance. These moments help them build friendships, confidence, and a lifelong love of learning.
At the end of each learning cycle, students proudly share a final project with their parents and the wider community. They perform English theatre pieces, poetry and dances. They also present posters and multimedia projects. Every performance celebrates love and care for nature and wildlife.
Just look at these amazing kids performing in English!
And parents are overjoyed. Many have told us how proud they feel, seeing their children speak confidently in public and create meaningful work. With more focus on creative activities, parents have also noticed a big drop in excessive smartphone use!
For the children, the program you make possible is truly life-changing. They’re discovering their strengths, learning new things and forming strong friendships. And most importantly, they're becoming proud young guardians of their forest home.
Thank you for being the support these children need. You’re helping inspire a generation that cares deeply for nature and their community!
