to thank all the donors who supported our cause « Good Practices in
Bioenergy Feedstock Production. With your generous support, you
enabled us to raise $ 6,655 from 56 unique donors. At this level , our
project earned a permanent spot on Global giving Thank to the entire
Globalgiving team.
Thank you all very much for your generous support.
