" Dear friends,

At first, let me introduce myself: My name is Fernando Poo, a Russian musician based on Berlin.

I would like to ask your collaboration in a benefit project called "Plant an mptree".

 www.plantanmptree.org

Every day I note that our society is involved in destroying and polluting the nature.
And only few people are trying to stop this abuse, so I want try to send a message to the people and give my help to try to do something to save our planet, and the only way that I can use to do it, is my music...

I contacted the non-profit organization Kids Saving the Rainforest (located in Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica) who are trying to collect money to save plants and animals in the Rainforest.

I thought that I could help them with my music and together with 23 visual artists (who are drawing the covers, a different one for each track). I released 23 tracks in mp3 that the people can download from many different internet shops that are collaborating with us in this project.
I want to release only in Digital, so that no trees or plastic is use to produce it.
 
Every track costs 1€ from this money 30 cents (10 cents from me, 10 cents from the JopRec, 10 cents from the MKTWO) will be transferred in Costa Rica to support the K.S.T.R.

I received a letter from Janine Licare, K.S.T.R. co-founder  and spokesperson that says:
"We started our organization so that we could assure people that their money goes where they want it to, and do not get lost paying for administrative costs. All funds received through K.S.R.F. go to 'The Rainforest Foundation', a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization dedicated to the
Preservation of Costa Rica's Rainforests! ".

And for me this is very important, I prefer to work with a little organization that works directly in the territory and not from an office in Berlin or New York!!!

The "plant an mptree" project is also sponsored by:

 Kids Saving the Rainforest

(KSTR) is a non-profit organization  founded in Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica by two school children, Janine Licare and Aislin Livingstone, and Janine's mother, Jennifer Rice. In 1998, the girls, at merely 9 ½ years old, sold painted rocks at a roadside table with the hopes of raising enough money to save the rainforests and Titi monkeys of the Manuel Antonio area.
Since 1999, KSTR has expanded its mission. Through a number of projects, we hope to educate children about the rainforest, preserve local rainforest land, rehabilitate baby animals, and insure the survival of the endangered Titi monkeys.
In 1999 the girls' idea took off when they opened the Kids Saving the Rainforest store-originally located in the corner of the restaurant at Hotel Mono Azul. Today, the successful store not only sells the children's artwork, but also the work of local artists and craftspeople, KSTR merchandise, and serves as an information source about the organization and environmental issues. KSTR receives 100% of the profits from all of the sales.
