All benefits of this ebay sale are going to the epric foundation. Frank Supplie has decided to give all his royalties on his publications to the EPRIC Foundation. Their goals are:

1. mantaining the natuaral habitats of epiphytic plants in nature

We spend a lot of money to keep natural habitats of epiphytic plants such as in Biolivia, Brasil and Indonesia.

2. to inform the public about culture of epiphytic plants

3. to mantain a reference collection

In Huissen we have the largest collection of epiphytic cacti and their hybrids in the world.

4. to help people back into the society when they are not able to work anymore

At the moment we have 10 people following the programm to get a chance to get a job after a short/long workingperiod at EPRICs at another company, with the skills they learn here, it is much easier to find a job, especially in these harsh times!

So support the epric foundation with their goals and buy a book!
