Through their efforts and contributions, participants in the Allies in the Rainforest program have helped protect hundreds of acres of threatened tropical forests and the wildlife that depends on it.
Every single donation makes a difference, no matter the size.
But, equally important is the awareness that these groups raise through their activities. The students spent five months preparing the production, which included scenery of a lush rainforest scene. They also served rainforest snacks and sold raffle tickets for boxes of rainforest products donated by a local food cooperative. The children's artwork and posters about the rainforest were displayed in the lobby for audience members to view before and after the performance. In addition to raising money for Allies, the students raised awareness about the plight of the Yanomamo Indians, an indigenous group of approximately 10,000 thinly scattered across 192,000 square kilometers of luscious rainforest in Venezuela and Brazil.
