Folks,

During the spring we told you about one of the Animators, Réné Décime. His gift is working with trees. He believes in talking to them and allowing them to talk with each other. He deeply understands how they sprout, grow, and flourish.

Similarly, he is an exceptional father. His children have been raised in the world of CODEP. They are beautiful young people now, and a couple of them are hoping eventually to apply to the Reforestation Mentoring Program.

We ask you often for support, and you should know every contribution means the world to CODEP. It is a testament to the circle of CODEP donors that we have the opportunity to prepare the next generation of its leaders.

Michael Anello, Executive Director
