Kat O’Lone is our new regional coordinator from the United States. We asked Kat to tell us a little bit about herself.

For her first birthday (August 1), Miss Bonnie asked Kat to create a big, month-long, birthday party for her. You are invited. Miss Bonnie is celebrating her birthday with a fundraiser for the Global Tree Initiative.

Nathanael enrolled in the Ecovillage Development Education certification program hosted by Gaia Education. It was through these weekly global Zoom meetings that Nathanael met GEN Ambassador Patty Rangel-Hernandez from Mexico.

The Global Tree Initiative (GTI) is not just about planting trees. It is, also, about creating communities and growing friendships. 

Katy shares with us that several reasons made her fall in love with the idea of joining the Global Tree Initiative (GTI).

Sophie, our kind volunteer, and donor, recently welcomed Anrich, our project coordinator, and Pia, his wife.

“This is a noble job that I dream of, so I want to serve the family until the end of my days with courage and love.” Jeremy tells us.

Our French translator, Marilyn Magazin, recently had her book published. Congratulations on this big accomplishment, Marilyn!

On February 1, Kika began working for the Global Tree Initiative (GTI) on a contract basis, for the next six months. It is your recent contributions to our GivingTuesday and GivingDecember fundraisers that made hiring Kika possible.

“I truly enjoy helping other people and taking care of mother nature, because it helps to understand and feel that you are doing something meaningful. In the age of contribution, it is essential that we pay back and provide care to nature,”
