Adopt-A-Tree
a fund-raising initiativeAbout this initiative
This fund-raising initiative is part of Project O2 (a Youth Expedition Project), which is organised by a team of undergraduates from the International Service division of the Rotaract Club of Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore.
Our team will be heading to Sapa, Vietnam, for a 2-week community service trip in December 2009, with environmental conservation and education as our main areas of focus. Over the course of the trip, we will be planting trees and conducting basic, conversational English lessons for the local school children.
Planting trees is one of the easiest methods to reduce one’s carbon footprint, and we will be planting at least 1000 saplings for this project. The average tree absorbs about 1 tonne of carbon dioxide over its lifetime, and while this may seem little, we believe that a small step will go a long way.

How you can contribute
Vietnam has the second highest deforestation rate of primary forests in the world, and only 10% of the Earth’s mature tropical forests may be left by 2030, if no significant action is taken.
You can help change that.
With a donation of SGD10 from you, we will plant a tree for you in Vietnam this December.
As a token of appreciation, you will receive a small instant photo of your planted sapling, with a tag of your name (or the name of the adopter of the tree) on it. This can also be a simple and meaningful gift for your friends and family.
If you’d like to make a donation, or find out more about our project and the different ways you can contribute, please feel free to email us at racntu.is@gmail.com.
Do help us spread our cause by reblogging/re-posting/emailing any of the images or by simply sharing this link :)
