My Nonprofit Reviews

When my daughter and I traveled to Central America with the Alliance for International Reforestation in the summer of '08, I thought that we were going to "plant trees". Little did I know, that we were in for a a life changing experience that would plant, and nurture, life long relationships. We got to know and work with staff members of AIR and village families hard at work building sustainable farming communities. We did plant trees (lots of them!) but we also got to see first hand how the villages came together to build fuel efficient stoves. We participated in children's classes as they were taught about sustainable farming practices. The families worked so hard to make a better future for themselves, and to thank us for coming and lending a hand. My daughter and I were moved by what we saw. This was change and progress from the ground up, not the top down. Entire villages were working together in the tree nurseries. AIR has to be seen to be believed.
