I support Jose’s legacy because he was my inspiration to fish, respect the resource, share with others, and give back. 

This is such an important project that two missionaries like yourselves could spend your lives and their three children's lives to show the path the Lord has chosen for all of you.
You are bringing a sustainable way of life back to the fishermen in the Philippines.
God Bless you all for your dedication and service to the Lord and to the economically depressed population there.
You all are truly doing the Lord's work.  God Bless the Martins!

A Story About Our "*Why"*

In January 2023, 14-month-old Virgil VanKleek was diagnosed with Rhabdomyosarcoma, a rare and aggressive childhood cancer. While Virgil is now cancer-free, the toll on his family was overwhelming—physically, emotionally, and financially. Thanks to the generosity of donors like you, the Jose Wejebe Memorial Foundation was able to give the VanKleek family eight days in the Florida Keys filled with joy, adventure, and healing. From fishing and snorkeling to exploring coral farms, encountering marine life, and fulfilling his mother, Amanda’s, lifelong dream of swimming with dolphins, the family experienced hope and happiness they never thought possible.

Amanda shared, “It was more than a trip. It was healing. It was unrivaled happiness. It was hope.” Your support makes moments like this possible. Every donation helps us bring comfort, joy, and renewal to families facing unimaginable challenges. Together, we can continue turning pain into possibility and give families the gift of healing memories.

Another "*Why"* Story

Four boys in long-term foster care recently spent a week in the Florida Keys thanks to the Jose Wejebe Memorial Foundation and Misty Wells’ A Reel Future. For children who have endured trauma, instability, and loss, the trip was more than just fishing, dolphin swims, and exploring coral reefs—it was a chance to laugh, feel safe, and create memories of joy. From cooking their own catch to learning about conservation, the boys experienced what it means to be cared for and supported, often for the first time.

Their counselor said the experience was “truly unforgettable,” and one of the boys shared, “This breath of fresh air finally brought peace to such a whirlwind of a world we live in… it showed me the sun is always shining, and that there are people that do care about us foster kids.” That is the power of your generosity. Your monthly support makes these life-changing moments possible—proving to kids who feel forgotten that they are seen, valued, and never alone. 💙 Become a Monthly Donor—Because everyone deserves hope.

The Fungi Foundation is a global organization that works for the Fungi, their habitats, and the people who depend on them.

Launched in 2012, the Fungi Foundation is the first NGO dedicated to the fungi kingdom. Since its inception, it has achieved numerous milestones while dedicating itself to exploring the fungi world in view of increasing knowledge of their diversity, educating about their applications, and recommending public policy for their conservation. As part of our ongoing 3F initiative, the foundation played a key role in enabling Chile to become the first country in the world to include protection of fungi in its environmental legislation. More recently, the foundation proudly announced the Fantastic Fungi Education Curriculum, the world's first mycological set of courses designed for schools.

In short, the Fungi Foundation envisions a healthy planet in which Fungi are recognized, protected, and embraced as the interconnectors of nature; a mission that would be impossible without the essential support of our kind, engaged donors.

***-~- OUR PHILOSOPHY -~-***

Branches Atelier is committed to creating high-quality, creative, dynamic, educational programs for children, families and educators. We are a social constructivist program, inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach to early childhood education.

Based on our fundamental belief that children learn best when their work is meaningful and in a social context, we integrate all areas of curriculum though short-term explorations and long-term projects. Children are viewed as protagonists in their learning and are encouraged to work in collaboration with their peers to co-construct new theories and ideas.

The role of our teachers is to extend and deepen children’s ideas and theories. Through careful observation, documentation, thoughtful questions and deep reflections, our teachers work in partnership with the children to negotiate curriculum, extend thinking and develop explorations. Our teachers are life long learners who continue to research contemporary child development theories. Attending conferences, workshops and classes supports our teachers’ commitment to integrating new research into their daily practice.

We have an extensive media program that encompasses a wide range of materials and symbolic languages. The children use the various media to communicate their ideas, develop their theories and deepen their learning.

Our children are not given traditional preschool materials such as play dough, construction paper and prepackaged collage materials. Instead they are offered a wide range of artist-quality mixed media materials including clay, pastels, weaving materials, beadwork and natural materials in addition to canvases and beautiful papers for use with various types of paint and collage.

“Materials are the text of early childhood classrooms. They offer openings and pathways by which children can enter the world of knowledge.”

We are influenced by the work of various artists such as Goldsworthy, Calder, Matisse and O’Keefe whose work we observe in books and photographs. In the atelier, the children’s work is displayed for further inspiration: clay leaves and tempera butterflies hang from the ceiling, wirework of DNA and kinesthetic sculptures adorn the space.

We see children as active, vital participants who contribute to our community. As part of our curriculum, we visit Temescal Canyon, Tanaka Strawberry Farm, Underwood Family Pumpkin Farm and farmers markets. We believe that extending our curriculum into the community allows the children to become more connected to their community and the community to become more connected to our children.

We understand and value the importance of children having time to connect with nature. Our beautiful outdoor environments give children time to explore nature through immersive experiences with clay, sand, water, natural materials and gardening. These experiences are set up to encourage children to connect with each other, develop peer relationships and make meaningful connections with natural world. Our environment has been certified by the **National Wildlife Federation** as a **School Yard Habitat.**

Research has shown that early experiences in programs such as Branches Atelier, improves children’s abilities to develop socially, intellectually and emotionally before they enter kindergarten, and that children who attend high-quality preschools like Branches will have more successful academic careers and develop the social skills necessary to adapt more easily to an elementary school environment.

Our Founder **Patricia Hunter McGrath** was named **Culver City's Visionary Woman of the Year** in 2020.

Branches Atelier has been certified by the **National Wildlife Federation** as a **School Yard Habitat.**

We develop community-led, circular solutions to end plastic pollution in remote coastal areas, grounded in local heritage.

We are an East African circular economy movement that in 2018 built the world’s first 100% recycled plastic sailing dhow.  Built from 10 tonnes of beach plastic, it was covered in 30,000 pieces of discarded flipflops collected from Kenyas beaches, hence its name 'The Flipflopi'. 

We employ a “full-systems” approach to beating plastic pollution through 

(1) education and awareness campaigns, 

(2) waste-plastic innovation rooted in heritage, and 

(3) influencing legislative change to ban single-use plastics. 

Over the course of three expeditions, the Flipflopi sailing boat has proved to be an exceptional campaign tool to catalyse engagement and action all three of the above focus areas. Watch our latest video, "[Stubborn Optimism - A Plastic Revolution" 
](https://youtu.be/RjVd7RR\_vPs?si=5XrC37OrODfvgnZJ)The 2019 Lamu to Zanzibar expedition, conducted in partnership with UN Environment, brought international media attention - 890 million people saw our message, we hosted the presidents and government ministers on the boat, and played a central role in national plastic bag bans that came into effect in both Kenya and Tanzania shortly after our campaign.

In 2020 Flipflopi Co-founder was awarded Kenya’s highest civilian honour for his contribution to preserving Kenya's Swahili culture and his environmental campaigning.  

In 2022, Flipflopi was awarded the FCDO’s prestigious SMEP Grant to tackle marine ecosystem health challenges which led to the creation of an innovative community-centered programme that is ‘closing the loop’ on waste plastic in the Lamu Archipelago (on the coast of northern Kenya) by combining indigenous knowledge of boatbuilding with modern innovation.  In a 24 month perirod we have collected 288 tonnes of plastic from the enviroment within the Lamu region. 

In 2022 we set up a Heritage Boat Building centre that runs pioneering classes teaching Dhow building and traditional craftsmanship to mixed gender classes of young people from Lamu County.  Students on these 12 week courses have built everything from ornately carved traditional Lamu chairs to Swahili Dhows – all from recycled plastic lumber instead of wood.  

In 2023, The Flipflopi team met UK Monarch King Charles whilst on a visit to Kenya, presenting him with an elegant traditional Swahili throne made entirely from recycled beach plastic.  It made headlines around the world. 

To date Flipflopi activity has principally taken place within Kenya, and to a lesser extent, in neighbouring countries Tanzania, Uganda and Rwanda.  In 2025 we are turning our attention to globally scaling the many valuable lessons we have learned about how to create a circular economy for plastic waste.

In 2025 we begin our most ambitious campaign yet – first we will construct a 120 tonne, 24 metre long traditional Lamu Dhow (again, built entirely from recycled plastic) and then we embark on a global expedition that will convene the action we need globally to see a WORLD WITHOUT SINGLE USE PLASTIC.

FORRAD works with vulnerable communities to build water, agriculture, and nutrition security in the face of climate change.

**About FORRAD**

The **Foundation for Rural Recovery and Development (FORRAD)** was established in Delhi in 1980 with the objective of promoting, supporting, and coordinating initiatives in sustainable agriculture and the protection of natural resources. Over the past four decades, FORRAD has extended technical and financial support to more than 450 grassroots projects across rural India, building strong partnerships with local communities and organizations.

FORRAD’s work focuses on the needs of smallholder farmers, sharecroppers, and the most vulnerable and marginalized communities. The groups that are the worst affected by the consequences of climate change, yet have the least access to resources and decision-making spaces. FORRAD places these communities at the center of its interventions, ensuring that they are the primary stakeholders who shape and often lead the initiatives.

Central to its work is strengthening **water security** and promoting **low-cost regenerative agriculture** as strategies to mitigate climate risks and restore ecological balance. FORRAD has revived and restored traditional water conservation and management practices, enabling communities to build resilience against droughts and erratic rainfall. More than aware of the nutrition crisis confronting the country and recognizing the close and inextricable link between water, agriculture, livelihoods, and health, FORRAD has, over the past five years, also integrated **nutrition security** as a core component of all its programmes.

Beyond water and agriculture, FORRAD engages with the intersecting issues of **girls’ education, and community healthcare**. All its projects are designed to be community-driven, with control over natural resources, information and related technologies vested in the local people themselves.

FORRAD’s guiding principles are rooted in equity and justice. The organisation ensures equal opportunities across gender, caste, and community. By creating spaces for the most disenfranchised voices to be heard and recognized, we work towards building resilient rural communities that can adapt to climate change, secure their livelihoods, and shape their own sustainable futures.

**Previous Experience Thematically**

 **Education**

**JB Singh Kanya Shiksha Setu – A Learning Centre for Girls in Bihar**

The learning centre, established in 2017, now enrols 141 girls. All girls are enrolled in government schools, and the centre remains essential to address gaps in learning. Most students of the centre are first generation literate and do not have an environment that facilitates learning at home. The centre prepares students and their parents for ensuring learning at school. 140 children have been provided nutritious snacks at the learning centre. This has improved their parameters

 **Nutrition**

In an action-research project initiated in late 2023, 300 children were assessed for malnutrition in Nalanda district, Bihar. These children belonged to the most marginalised community groups. Children were administered B-complex vitamins, supplementary nutrition in the form of a locally produced protein and energy mix, and put on a deworming regimen. Each child received nutritional supplementation for over 15 months. While results are encouraging, the acute and chronic malnutrition has created stunting and the children did not show the signs of height and weight gain as in other states like Tamil Nadu.  

**Agriculture**

**Transitioning to Low External Input Sustainable Agriculture in Bihar**

700 acres of land in Nalanda district, Bihar transitioned to LEISA in the form of mixed cropping in the winter of 2025.

**Tree Plantation**

Over 1,600 saplings including mango, guava, banana, drumstick, hog plum (Amra), arjun (Kahua), jackfruit, mahogany, and teak were planted on pyne embankments in Bihar with farmers and local committees ensuring their protection.

**System of Rice Intensification in Thiruvallur district, Tamil Nadu**

96 farmers were motivated to use the **SRI method of rice cultivation** over their fields covering a total of 173 acres. SRI uses half the water that the traditional method does.

 **Water**

**1.      Pyne Restoration in Bihar**

FORRAD has restored 34 km of pynes (flood diversion channels from seasonal rivers) in Bihar creating a standing storage of 200 million litres of water serving a command area of 4000 acres of farmland.

2.      **Rainwater harvesting around the Sambhar Salt Lake (In partnership with Manthan Sanstha and Prayatna Sansthan)**
Storage capacity of 1.5 billion litres created through restoration of 31 rainwater harvesting structures in 20 villages around the Sambhar salt lake. Each year, about a billion litres of rainwater is collected. The reservoirs are maintained by the panchayats with support from district and state authorities.

3.      **Water storage for individual households (In partnership with Manthan Sanstha supported by individual donors)**
Water storage tanks of 10,000 litres each were constructed for 206 vulnerable families in remote hamlets lacking regular water supply. These communities now have means to store water from weekly tanker deliveries.

4.      **Watershed development in UP Bundelkhand (In partnership with Gramonnati Sansthan)**
Watershed development over 1,000 acres in Bilkhi and Tola Swayam villages in Uttar Pradesh transformed wasteland into productive farmland through farm-bunding, check-dams, ponds, and tree plantations.

5.      **Farm bunding** in Dikwaha began on 35 acres of land to conserve water and soil. It was expanded to 110 acres on demand from the community and mandated by panchayat, with farmers contributing 10% via shramdaan and five wells cleared for drought relief. In Baniya Tala, bunding started on 28 acres and extended by 18 more acres after panchayat interest, benefiting additional farmers.

6.      **The restoration of 39 km of traditional irrigation channels** in Tiruvallur district allowing for the use of surface water for irrigation thereby reducing dependence on groundwater and greatly benefitting the small-holder farmers who do not have their own tube-wells.

7.      **The cleaning of 60 public overhead tanks, (30,000 – 60,000 litres) and 16 school tanks** significantly reducing bacterial contamination in water. The tanks are now maintained by the local panchayat with occasional reminders from the community.

**8.      The cleaning, chlorination, and covering of 22 open wells** that had fallen into disuse with the coming of piped water and were being used as garbage dumps.

Despite all the progress over the last 15 years, the work has only taken place on 30% of GreenEarth's endowed land. and we have ways to go!  We can plant 40,000 more trees on our Phase 1 development of 32 hectares plus the need to build access roads, pathways and hiking trails, before we hop on over to our Phase 2 development of 75 hectares.   We can continue to scale up our livelihoods in organic agriculture by continuing to build the density of our raw materials  in hardwoods, fruit-bearing trees and ornamental plants, if we were to dream big and be a global purveyor of certified-organic products, which will bring in a tremendous amount of livelihood for the rural poor in our catchment community.  

Our **MISSION** is to preserve the environment, to adhere to sound and sustainable organic agricultural practices and to help in the alleviation of poverty through livelihood, education and community development.

It is our **VISION** to build a model eco-farming community on our land donation, skillfully master planned to allow for future-allocated areas for forests, schools, libraries, parks, marketplaces, sports and recreational facilities, community training centers, to name a few, all for the benefit of indigent farming families who have decided to hinge their life’s hopes for a brighter future on our mission and programs.

We are praying for committed monthly givers who can partner with us even for USD 10/ month. It is the power of numbers that will help us together transform land and transform lives. 

Hope you can join us!

CETI is a nonprofit org applying advanced machine learning and gentle robotics to listen to and translate whale communication. 

Founded in 2020 as a TED Audacious Project, the organization’s science team is made up of the world's leading artificial intelligence and natural language processing experts, marine biologists, cryptographers, linguists, roboticists and underwater acousticians. CETI’s research is taking place off of the island of Dominica in the Caribbean.

In the late 1960s, scientists, including Dr. Roger Payne, a principal advisor of CETI, discovered that whales sing to one another. His recordings, Songs of the Humpback Whale, sparked the “Save the Whales” movement, one of the most successful conservation initiatives in history. The campaign eventually led to the Marine Mammal Protection Act that marked the end of large-scale whaling and saved several whale populations from extinction. 

All this by just hearing the sounds of whales. Imagine what would happen if we could understand them?

WHY WHALES 
Sperm whales specifically share traits strikingly similar to humans. They live in matriarchal and multicultural societies and share dialects and strong multigenerational family bonds. Sperm whales have the largest brains of any species and have higher-level functions such as conscious thought and future planning, as well as speech and feelings of compassion, love, suffering and intuition. Their vocalizations, among the loudest animal sounds on the planet, have a Morse code-like structure that shares the hallmarks of a highly-evolved language. Our understanding of these animals and their dialects is still in its infancy. Only in the last fifteen years have we begun to learn how some of their vocalizations are used for communication.  
WHAT CETI IS DOING
CETI is:
-Developing non-invasive robotics to listen to a population of whales in the Caribbean and put their sounds into context.
-Deploying a “Core Whale Listening System,” an innovative hydrophone array, underwater robotic gliders, custom bioinspired whale tags and other technology to gently study the whales.
-Building on substantial data on the whales’ sounds, social lives, and behavior already obtained by the Dominica Sperm Whale Project. 
-Creating a bespoke, big-data pipeline to examine the recorded data and decode it using advanced machine learning, natural language processing and data science.
-Publishing a series of academic papers beginning with the CETI roadmap.
-Collaborating with the National Geographic Society, including their Exploration Technology Lab, and amplifying the project across National Geographic’s storytelling and education channels.
-Implementing community-based programs like the Dominica Marine Conservation Fellowship, a community-based 10-month multi- module training program for young Dominicans interested in marine science, that was developed in partnership with National Geographic.
-Launching various communications projects to tell CETI’s story including a public interface for the citizen science community, resources for educators and children and arts programs.

IMPACT
Now, for the first time in history, it’s possible to use artificial intelligence to identify and interpret deep structure within animal communication. Using these technologies, CETI is building on the legacy of the “Save the Whales” movement with the goal of having an impact by contributing the following:
Interspecies Communication - A new data set of unprecedented size to the rapidly expanding field of interspecies communication and a roadmap of how humans could translate the communication of any other species
Marine Biology - A substantive contribution to the field of whale research within marine biology that opens gateways for future research initiatives. 
Policy - New information about whales that can bolster policy efforts to protect marine mammals and ocean habitats. Policy advances in this area are crucial as six out of the 13 “great” whale species (the largest whales) are still endangered (World Wildlife Federation). To ensure impact in this area, CETI plans to build out policy campaigns and initiatives. 
Perspective - It is widely endorsed that connectivity with nature can improve mental health. By sharing its journey and findings with the public, CETI hopes to contribute to a feeling of increased wonder and connectedness to whales and the ocean that can inspire action. CETI will build out arts and childrens’ initiatives in support of this impact goal.
Conservation - CETI’s first phase of research is taking place in Dominica in the Caribbean, a region that is one of the world’s greatest centers of diversity. By carrying out its research in partnership with local stakeholders, CETI hopes to contribute to regionally-led research and conservation efforts.

HOW CETI IS SUPPORTING DOMINICA
-CETI’s capacity-building initiative, Dominica Marine Conservation Fellowship is a 10-month, nine module training program for young Dominicans interested in marine science) in partnership with National Geographic.  The program has three 2022/2023 fellows and partnerships with the Dominica National Youth Council, Dominica State College and Dominica’s Ministry of Education. The program’s curriculum (co-created with National Geographic) includes modules on marine science, scientific research/techniques, water and vessel skills and storytelling and leadership among other topics.
-All research and findings by CETI in Dominica are all open-source and will be available for Dominica. The organization’s sailing research vessel (CETI-1), a Rigid Inflatable Boat (CETI-2) and Dominican made boat (CETI-3) are in operation in Dominican waters; these boats along with other CETI equipment will be donated to the local entity at the completion of the project.
-A temporary field station has been established in Dominica and has the capacity to host 10-12 researchers, fellows and students. In the long-term, CETI plans to build a permanent field station in Dominica 
-In 2023, CETI will continue local engagement and presentations with primary and secondary schools, development of video content for use in classrooms, collaborations with local artists and collaborations with local stakeholders such as marine and dive operators, civil society organizations and schools.



Project CETI

Aquatic Life Institute is a 501(c)(3) non-profit focused on reducing the suffering of aquatic animals in the global food system.

Aquatic Life Institute (ALI) was founded in 2019 to address the critical and often overlooked issue of aquatic animal welfare. Recognizing that aquatic animals are the most exploited group of animals worldwide yet remain largely unprotected, ALI set out with a mission to drive systemic change and elevate aquatic animal welfare as a priority in global food systems.

Our theory of change is rooted in the belief that by influencing key stakeholders and decision makers, advancing policies, and fostering collaboration, we can drive systemic transformation for billions of aquatic animals. 

Building on this foundation, ALI has emerged as a thought leader, advocating for tangible improvements across the seafood supply chain. By engaging with key stakeholders, including corporations, certification schemes, and policymakers, we work to ensure that aquatic animals trapped in the food system receive the attention they deserve in decision-making processes relating to sustainability and food systems. 

ALI’s work is driven by evidence-based strategies and collaboration. This approach has earned ALI widespread recognition, including a 2024 Top Charity recommendation from Animal Charity Evaluators (ACE). This endorsement solidifies ALI’s position as one of the most effective organizations in the world advancing aquatic animal welfare.

Preserve the cave mining elephants and support the local people of Mt Elgon, a massive extinct volcano on the Kenya-Uganda border.

Mount Elgon is a massive extinct volcano on the Kenya-Uganda border in East Africa. It is believed to have risen from the surrounding Africa plains in a period of intense regional volcanic activity 24 million years ago, probably forming the highest mountain in Africa at the time. It is now quiet and has eroded down to 4,321 meters at its highest peak, Wagagai in Uganda. However, at approximately 80 km north to south and 50 km east to west, it is still huge and is said, measured by its footprint, to be the largest free-standing volcano in the world. 

The cultural heritage, landscape and ecology of Mount Elgon are under threat with serious consequences for people both locally and regionally.  This includes Mount Elgon's elephants that go deep underground to mine salt. There are many factors driving this, a key one being deforestation which impacts on the hydrology of the mountain and results in soil erosion, the loss of biodiversity and human-wildlife conflict. This is exacerbated by a fragile economic environment of low security and opportunity. Mount Elgon's people and its rich biodiversity are largely being left behind in comparison with many areas of East Africa. 

The aim of the Mount Elgon Foundation is to seek viable long-term measures that will help mitigate the challenges faced by Mount Elgon. More specifically, it wishes to: 
• reduce human-elephant conflict, protecting people, their livelihoods and the elephants; 
• prevent deforestation and promote reforestation; 
• promote further recording and preservation of local cultural heritage, and 
• provide alternative environmentally and culturally sensitive economic opportunities. 

The Foundation and its trustees currently fund or have funded the East African Wild Life Society - Mount Elgon Elephant Project (EAWLS-MEEP), cultural heritage research and community livelihood / forestry related projects. To date, the projects supported are located on the Kenya side of Mount Elgon. We aim to also fund partners who work in Uganda or who are Kenya-based and collaborate on a trans-boundary basis with others in Uganda.
