Hello,   Since September I have been living in a different part of the country, as I am now attending boarding school.  My group are still active and my brother attends so I know they are following up their projects, working with bird habitats, small mammals breeding sites and trees in the forest.  Their conservation projects are ongoing. Here, a more low land area with a large river valley, the trees are different and I live on the edge of the largest deciduous forest in England and Wales (the Forest of Dean).  I have been studying development and have focused on less economically developed countries - my geography teacher has helped me concentrate on Ghana.  It is a different way of thinking about other areas and my time in Japan has been hugely beneficial in helping me understand the issues.  Thank you very much for keeping in touch.  My brother is attending our group meeting at home today - so I will pass on your message.  Thanks 
Love Erin
