Norwalk Man Walks Marathon to Raise Funds for Kids Affected by Coronavirus
Excerpt:
“NORWALK — Joe Hoffman has lived in the Cranbury neighborhood for 17 years, but working a sales job that took him to locations around the world, it was difficult to find time to explore some places closer to home.
Then the COVID-19 pandemic hit, people began working from home, and Hoffman, 53, started walking.”

Future Farm Business to Fund TKP Schools
"Forty acres of eucalyptus trees swaying in the Kenyan breeze. Hundreds of seedlings in a tree nursery. A local economy growing and supporting the education of rural Kenyan students.
It’s happening, through The Kilgoris Project and our partner, The PaperSeed Foundation. The foundation is a non-profit dedicated to strengthening educational opportunities for children and young people in resource-lacking communities around the world. They first partnered with TKP in 2014 to support the completion of our Nentekeny Preschool campus , where 140 children currently attend school."

"Keep California Beautiful & the Paper Seed Foundation also awarded $18,000 in cash awards for its K-12 Recycling Challenge held during the month of March. More than 265 California schools participated in the statewide challenge, which focused on schools reducing refuse costs by increasing recycling on a daily basis. Because of the diversity in recycling programs and school infrastructure, the contest includes eight basic material categories: paper, cardboard, CRV beverage containers (bottles, cans, glass), metal cans, expanded polystyrene foam (lunch trays and food service-ware), milk and juice cartons, food service organics (compost) and comingled/single stream recycling. Students therefore learned an important lesson in environmental stewardship, while also promoting California’s goal of reducing 75 percent of its waste by 2020."

Thank you to the PaperSeed Foundation!
Through the generous efforts of the San Rafael Paperseed Foundation in California we have received 60 children's backpacks filled with school supplies. Paperseed hosted their annual drive last month and donated these bags which we are packing for shipment to the island of Leyte, Philippines where families are still recovering almost 10 months later from the devastation of Hurricane Haiyan.
Thank you Paperseed for making this happen!
