Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

Form 990, Page 1, Item B

The explanation for the amended return consists of the following reasons: 1.sale of coloring books was incorrectly reported as miscellaneous revenue on the original return and should have been under program service revenue. 2.schedule a page 2 inadvertently omitted the public support percentage from the prior year on line 15, which was 63.7% 3.on page 7 there was a misspelling of an officer's name.

FORM 990 - ORGANIZATION'S MISSION

Our mission is planting fruit trees to feed people, create jobs, and benefit the environment. We work in 18 developing countries including jamaica, haiti, and other caribbean and african countries. We run similar programs to support fruit tree survival, so we supply food processing equipment, run school feeding programs, train farmers, and conduct agricultural field research.

Form 990, Page 2, Part III, Line 4D

We have two other smaller services, education 9,873, and research 12,063. We educate young children with a successful activity/coloring book that teaches the benefits of planting fruit trees, we run cooking schools locally to encourage food from trees, and we produced short videos to teach farmers new methods of tree propagation. We conducted two field research projects into the gps location of over 600 locations with breadfruit trees. The data helps to create a sustainable marketplace for fruit harvesting and processing.
