Reforest the Tropics

[Hawke]

It has been a while since I posted this Thread. Our son is Executive Director of Reforest the Tropics which is sustainable and gives jobs to the local population.

Wonderful to hear about another project to protect nature also to help mankind.

Interesting and informative website -- https://reforestthetropics.org/ Certainly an important mission.

Posting again. My son is the director of RTT. So obviously I am biased. It is financed by contributions. Look up the website and anyone can decide if it is worth a contribution. Thanks Kent Powell

Greg was up from his job yesterday. A lot of the sargassum comes from nutrients that flow into the ocean after logging takes place in Central America. He runs the nonprofit https//reforestthetropics.org/. It is financed by contributions.

Thanks Kent. Great experience! I also note that Greg was a Peace Corps volunteer -- I recently served as General Counsel for the Peace Corps.

Peace Corps . . . amazin’! I wonder if JFK, Sargent Shriver, & Harrison Wofford contemplated its existence & success 60+ years post-launch.

Yes!
Sen. Wofford lasted long enough to stay engaged for many years with AmeriCorps, f/k/a the Corporation for National & Community Service, where I also served as General Counsel. He lived a long and very interesting life.

It is a nonprofit organization. Hopefully people that can afford to visit St. Barts will contribute.

Greg was here for Christmas. Still hope that people will contribute to Reforest the Tropics.

Greg is in Marstons Mills on Cape Cod for a few days. Our other two sons and I all went to play a game we call extreme bocci. There is no court. You go through fields and throw the boule where ever you want.

It has been very warm so far this fall. The leaves haven't changed color yet. Somewhat of a drought also. No rain forecast for the next ten days.

Very dry down here too, but we are seeing a bit if color out of my window
