Nong Bua Lamphu THAILAND  MAY 2011

Beside the regular Sunshine Action food blessing bags to the poor families/cases. Thailand is the second country where Sunshine Action started the full year program, by arranging volunteering visits by the young students to the elderly and giving fruit tree saplings to poor families to get more food by themselves or sell to market

This program is set with cooperation with the St. Michael Archangel Catholic Church.

Each team will have 4 students and they will provide monthly visits to the selected cases of poor elderly. Every time, they will bring a package of food and other basic need items.

The students must write a report about the case's situation, general feeling about the activity, etc... These reports will be reviewed regularly.

Plant the Planet ~ Thailand

In cooperation with the 4 following schools, Sunshine Action planted over 600 Coconut & Mango trees:

- Prao village school

- Kabkaewbuaban Witedesuksa School

- Ban Pekfuy School

- Ban Khaw School

According to UNITED NATIONS ENVIRONMENTAL PROGRAM:

• An area of a rainforest the size of a football field is being destroyed each second.

Tropical forests cover 23% of the Earth's land surface, but they are disappearing at a rate of 4.6 millions hectares a year. Asia leads loses with 2.2 millions hectares a year, Latin America & the Caribbean together lose 1.9 millions and Africa loses 470'000 hectares of rain forest every year.

• More than 5'000 things are made from trees such as houses, furniture, pencils, utensils, fences, books, newspapers, movie tickets even clothing & toothpaste.

• Three-quarters of the world's people rely on wood as their main source of energy.

• Destruction of forests creates numerous environmental catastrophes, including altering local rainfall patterns, accelerating soil erosion, causing the flooding of rivers, and threatening millions of species of plants, animals and insects with extinction.

大氣中的二氧化碳、水蒸氣、臭氧都有吸收紅外線的性質，所以熱能被保留在大氣中再反射回地表使地球溫暖，科學家稱這種作用為「溫室效應」。但是，一旦大氣中的二氧化碳增加時，地球的氣溫便會越來越高，造成近年所謂全球暖化的危機。

 樹木透過光合作用，吸收了大氣中的二氧化碳(最主要的溫室氣體)，並將之轉化為氧氣。

A single mature tree can absorb carbon dioxide at a rate of 48 lbs./year and release enough oxygen back into the atmosphere to support 2 human beings.
