About Me:: As a co-founder and director of LEAP (Land Empowerment Animals People), and a director of the Keepin' It Real peer education class at San Quentin, I encourage people from all walks of life to come together and share their hopes and desires as well as sorrow and despair about the condition of life here on our planet home.

What are you working on?: Project Women Empowerment Trees (PWET) formed in 2006, when LEAP and PACOS (Partners of Community Organisations) Trust met with women from two villages (kampungs) from the Pitas district in the Malaysian state of Sabah, at the northern tip of Borneo. This area has experienced major loss of forest, watershed degradation and disempowerment of the women, their communities and families due to loss of economic and social structures, as large numbers of the rural populations (mostly men and young people) move to cities for work and livelihood. The result of the discussion with the women was the mutual decision to participate in an initiative which aimed to share experiences, knowledge and resources, with a vision of international collaboration and local action – in the name of women’s leadership and empowerment, ecological sustainability, social responsibility and economic viability. The vision of this project is to create and implement a project to plant trees that will create an “eco-economic” model of economically sustainable ecological preservation.
