Sustainable Harvest International
Greetings, Friends,
Fiscal year 2012 marked our 15th anniversary. Such a notable milestone
prompted us to reect on SHIs humble beginnings with our frst armer, our
frst tree and our frst acre o land in Honduras. Since then, SHI has expanded
into our Central American countries and has surpassed 2,100 amilies served
and 3.2 million trees planted. Grateul to have come so ar, we couldnt have
done it without our donors and supporters.
But looking back on our past isnt what drives SHI sta and partnering
amilies every day. While we made great strides in our frst 15 years, there
is still more to do. We look orward to continuing our work together as we
reorest more land, create more sustainable arms, and help more amilies
nourish themselves with good ood and a good living.
Thank you or supporting our achievements in FY12, and or inspiring us to keep
our eye on the uture o sustainability. Heres to 15 more years and beyond!
Saludos,
Florence Reed Rene Johnson
President and Founder Executive Director
