Why isn't it based in Brazil

It was me. That's weird. Why isn't the "Bamboo Brazil Foundation" based in Brazil? Travis, Your question is valid. The answer is because the grants/funds are available here in the US. Starting a non-profit is inherintely more complex there and since I am a legal resident and have been for 15 years, why not base it here. Especially, since I am working here to help fund the social projects myself with other bamboo NGOs. Hopefully, there will be an affiliate NGO based in Rio de Janeiro next year. Linda Garland registered the Environmental Bamboo Foundation in the US before she did in Indonesia. I hope that satisfies you. Thank you.
