## Activities

**Objects:** To promote sustainable development for the benefit of the public in countries to be determined by the Trustees by:(a) the preservation, conservation and the protection of the environment and the prudent use of resources;(b) the relief of poverty and the improvement of the conditions of life in socially and economically disadvantaged communities.

**Activities:** We plant forests around impoverished communities, encouraging the people who plant them to be true guardians of their woodland. We build classrooms in schools that have inadequate or non-existent places to study creating better environments to learn. We raise awareness about global environmental issues and sustainable living practices that benefit the entire planet through film showings and talks.
