We are also interested in Wyoming and Idaho. Last year we produced 550 shirts, including 350 that went to Russia. These shirts were enormously popular with the participants. Names and logos for large donors will again be printed on the shirts. Any profits will fund up to 40 young winners of scholarships from an essay competition on how they would care for an environmental problem in their village or town.
Funds also go for project expenses incurred during the Green Walk.
Our needs exceed those of last year because the number of participants will be four times larger. The site includes information on our programs, partners, the Walk itinerary and ourselves. Very shortly we will be posting pages on our new programs in Moscow, and we are also working to post information on the schools that participate in our exchange and programs of some of our partners in Russia. We need funds for GW projects, to buy in Buryatia construction materials, garbage bags, tools, signage and other items. Most of our projects will be simple, such as building benches, waste receptacles, putting up signs, building outhouses at some of our campsites.
