Review for Earth Child Institute Inc, New York, NY, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

ECI is a hands-on, on the ground, heart-motivated NGO. Donna Goodman, founder and president, has years behind her working with UNICEF on projects involving the environment and children, prior to this she was a a successful entrepreneur. I have been on parallel event panels at the United Nations and know her to be inspired and inspiring. I met interns she is mentoring, and support ECI as a donor. My publisher (Red Wheel-Conari) for Like a Tree: How Trees, Women, and Tree People Can Save the Planet, will be planting a tree for every hardcover purchased--through one of ECI's innovative programs, girls and boys at a school in Togo will be doing this.
