DONATIONS TO CHARITY:
I do not ask for contributions. Instead, please support the work of Health in Harmony, which trades forest protections for health care. It's an innovative scheme that has seen thousands of acres of tropical rain forest protected and also restored, and the health of nearby villagers greatly improved.
See my video here: youtube.com/watch?v=j9-GRugP9pU for an explanation of their work.
Please donate here: healthinharmony.org/donate
Health in Harmony also has a live website: healthinharmony.org
The clip at the beginning is from Broadcast News. Well worth watching!
