Testimonial — By Robin Woolner
Evans has welcomed Robin Woolner from the US at the beginning of September 2019.
Robin had an interest in the trust’s work for some time, so he managed to devote ten days to get to know more about the project, the work and the people in the community.
He helped to set up tree nurseries and joined Evans on his visits to members of the community, too.
We are delighted to have so committed people supporting our work from around the world!
