December 2005 Trees for Life: Planting Peace in Palestine Planting 15,000 olive trees in Palestine by early 2006
In the works for almost a year, Zatoun has created its own program "Trees for Life" with the help of our primary partner, Palestine Fair Trade Association. The program has set an ambitious goal to plant 15,000 trees in 375 farms distributed over 25 agricultural areas across Palestine. Farmers are selected according to damage suffered. Zatoun in Canada will contribute over $7,500 CDN to the program just from the sale of Zatoun olive oil. The program is being rolled out to Fair Trade olive oil initiatives in Europe. Please follow the link for a more complete description of the program. There are 2 ways you can contribute directly to the program:
Or do BOTH. Zatoun does what it can through olive oil sales but
direct contributions are much needed. Please visit our site to place your order for Zatoun olive oil. We apologize that we have been sold out of olive oil soap practically from the beginning - it was a small test and "Zatoun is enthusiasm for and goodwill towards Palestine in a bottle."
