The Tafua Rain Forest Reserve Information Center will serve as an office, library, rain forest information resource and tourist center dedicated to protecting 10,000 acres of prime lowland rain forest. The rain forests have also played an essential part of their ancient cultural and spiritual tradition. Now these rain forests are being destroyed by Pacific Rim logging companies at an alarming rate.
Deforestation causes the soil to erode into the ocean, killing coral reefs and marine life.
With depleted soil and nothing left to fish, the villagers face the challenges of mere survival. Our next campaign will be to build a well for the La Serre village in Haiti. The 2,000 inhabitants of La Serre have no source of running water for drinking or irrigation. The Force for Good Campaign is an important effort to give something back to indigenous people or cultures who have given so much to mankind.
