Youth-led Permaculture Initiative for 800 Youth

Dear Friend,

Thank you very much for your support to our initiative advocating permaculture and agro-reforestation for 800 youth. Our farmers are old already with average of 75 years old and there is a need to engage the youth to become passionate about farming. We need farming because of food security issues and the impending problem of famine and we need the youth to help in this goal. This reporting period we are embarking on an ambitious project of carbon credit and carbon offset by targeting more than 200 hectares for tree growing and agro-reforestation and then engaging the youth to implement the process. This is ambitious but with the help of local experts, we think that we can do this. We target end of this year to have already dialogue with prospective partners and helpers. Your help is very much needed so we achieve our goal. Thank you very much.

Very sincerely yours,

Jed Christian Sayre

Dear Friend,

Warm greetings and thank you very much for your generous support to our initiative youth-led permaculture promotion and targeting 800 youth and more. We are happy to report that we were able to generate funding support from a local organization in order to expand and promote our initiative. This reporting period we focus our attention to the growing and multiplication of high-valued tree crops like mulberry, mango and durian. These crops command high price in the market and young farmers are encouraged to plant and propagate them. In the past there is some problems that we face when we try to promote timber trees because farmers commented that they have to wait long period of time in order to get some benefits, that is the reason why we shifted to the growing of crops that provide immediate benefits like fruits this time. Hoping that we will be successful in this new venture. Again, thank you very much.

Very sincerely yours,

Jed Chrisitian Sayre
