Trees for Christine Project

We have a new project in support of our school in Siem Reap, Cambodia.
Titled “Trees for Christine” it is an initiative of our good friend Petra and her fellow supporters in the Czech Republic. Donors to to the program are invited to plant a tree (or at least have someone plant one for them) in a special Eco Trails farm not far from our school 30 km away in Siem Reap. The plot of land, owned by Michal Citavy and Sela Chham, will allow new forest planted to help restore lost forest in Cambodia, as well as offering important support for our school CBE Christine (referred to as “Bush School” in Australia”)

The price for each tree planting is USD 100, of which 10% provides the seedling and ongoing care, while 90% goes to the school budget ($10 for the tree, $90 for the school).
The tree planting is now well under way on the 2 hectare farm known as CK Eco-Trails Asia.
Our teachers, and others, are working hard planting the trees. Our Head Teacher Savorn has produced a lively video tour of the recently planted trees, showing individual labelling with donor’s name.

Payment can be made on this site, by bank transfer, or by Secure PayPal.

Petra and Czech friends support the school under their local banner “Oci Dokoran” in Czech (or “Eyes Wide Open” in English). This is an excellent site that does much to promote our school, and also gives news about Trees for Christine. See http://www.ocidokoran.cz

We thank Petra, our Czech partner, and Michal and Sela of Eco Trails Farm, for their generous support of Trees for Christine project.
We encourage our Australian friends to take part, plant a beautiful mahogany tree, and contribute to the welfare of our students. This project is named in honor of Doug’s late wife, Christine.
