I’m trying something new to raise money for Love Trees and The ChariTREE Foundation. Check out these new opportunities:
• A TREEmendous Earth Day Giveaway.
• An exclusive opportunity to have your ad on my sites – checkout CLICK TREE for more information.
I have exactly one month until my next writing group meeting to get writing. LOVE THIS article – very relatable: 25 ThingsWriters Should Stop Doing
I am also working on a cause marketing app for Love Trees and a revised proposal for ChariTREE.
This inspires me today: “I will be a hummingbird” - Nobel laureate Wangari Maathai
Latest projects: Andrea is writing a young adult novel and screenplay and is hoping to get the song My Persephone featured in a film or television show this year.
In her free time Andrea will be doing some freelance photography for AirBandB. She is available to photograph bed and breakfast listings in Sea to Sky country. For more information see the Dec 26, 2011 post below.
She is working on a Love Trees app pitch and has just pitched a short film on IndieGogo as she continues her work to get thousands of trees to children across Canada and around the world as part of Love Trees + The ChariTREE Foundation children’s tree planting and environmental education projects.
Thinking of listing your extra space as a B & B? Andrea is a professional photographer with expertise photographing B & Bs – she can make any place look warm and inviting.
Great photos are the key to attracting guests. Andrea owned a successful green b and b and can use her experience to shoot the best angles and most inviting photos of your place so you can attract more guests and earn more. Andrea is a trained photographer and has photographed all kinds of projects including shooting for daily newspapers, charities, pr / communications campaigns and bed and breakfast listings as well as the album cover for My Persephone – see earlier posts.
A portion of profits from Andrea’s photography supports the Love Trees children’s tree planting and environmental education programs. This site is Greened by Love Trees.
Andrea produced this short film (through her video company – Russell Hill Productions) for Love Trees and The ChariTREE Foundation’s children’s tree planting projects in Canada and around the world.
‘Love Trees‘ is in honour of children and trees everywhere.
She is hoping to take this project to the next level. Check out her pitch on IndieGoGo.

Andrea just returned from Africa: The Love Trees team is back from a project inspection and fact-finding trip to eastern and southern Zambia. They visited Mumbi Village in Petauke District in Eastern Province, where we were taken on a tour by children to a tree nursery funded by Love Trees. In the same area we also visited Manga Village and saw mango and jatropha trees purchased by Love Trees three years ago growing beautifully beside houses and outside the school.
In southern Zambia, they visited two more schools outside Livingstone. They also toured a commercial tree nursery that may also be able to supply trees for our future projects in the region. After many meetings we came back with a better understanding of the challenges of doing tree planting projects and environmental education in Zambia. Andrea is more inspired than ever to give children in Zambia trees. One thing is certain, Zambia needs trees, according to the UN food agency, the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO), Zambia is among the top 10 countries in the world with the highest annual deforestation rate.

Puppy Tweets: Summit, the ghost tweeting dog, just picked-up another high profile client. Summit, a friendly Bernese Mountain Dog, offers individuals and business clients thoughtful tweets and loyal discretion.
Summit passes the time while the kids are at school, by tweeting for clients around the world. Summit is selective about her clients. She loves to tweet about animal protection and conservation but she can tweet about anything.
Summit donates a portion of her profits to Love Trees because she loves kids and trees – and because without trees her animal pals around the world could become homeless. To follow Summit: http://twitter.com/Summit_tweets
