[Fredslist] Spring is Here: Buy a Tree!

[Ellin Yassky]

Spring is here and even if the green is slowly creeping into our accounts, it's budding all over outside. That means hope and progress!

I'd like to offer an opportunity for you individually, or through your company, to add some green to the world and support an educational opportunity (a win-win situation . . . my favorite).

In January of 2011, my 16-year-old daughter, Zoe, will be participating in a program called "TRY" (Tikun Ramah Yerushalayim). She'll be taking 2nd semester of her sophomore year in high school in Israel. Where do the trees come in? Good question.

"Plant Your Way" is a program through JNF (Jewish National Fund) that plants trees in groves that become forests that green the land of Israel that benefit ALL who live there. For every tree you buy, 1/2 the funds go towards Zoe's education, 1/2 put a beautiful sapling in the ground. I've actually planted them in the soil myself. It's a wonderful experience.

Note: I ordinarily would refrain from putting through such a request, but as this is an investment in a child's education as well as an investment in the greening of a country that ecumenically effects so many of us, I thought it worth the exception.

Thank you and happy planting!
