English Banana Trust...

 

England, October 2008:

We're pleased to announce the formation of the English Banana Trust. English Banana Trust is a new charity that has been set up to support the work of English Banana.com - the books, the worksheets, the website - everything. English Banana Trust is a charity based in England, which has applied for registration with the Charity Commission for England and Wales.

As many of you know, English Banana.com has been online and giving away free teaching materials since 2002. Last year over 100,000 English Banana.com books were downloaded, while on average over 3,000 worksheets are downloaded from our website every single day!

Not only that, but our unique Copying Licence allows visitors to freely print, copy, distribute, give away, and even sell English Banana.com materials.

We don't know of any other teaching resources website that offers this much free of charge.

From the English Banana Trust Deed:

"There are an estimated 1.5 billion people in the world who can already speak English to some degree of proficiency, while another one billion people are learning English. English language skills are much sought after because English is the international language of business, trade, science, and the internet.

"We believe that education is a fundamental human right and vitally important to the improvement of every person's quality of life.

"We believe that by sharing what we have our lives become richer.

"The overall aim of the charity is to advance education by spreading the use and understanding of the English language all over the world, enabling people to find routes out of poverty.

OBJECT 1: To provide educational materials

OBJECT 2: To provide learning support programs

OBJECT 3: To develop new materials and learning support programs"
