On behalf of the students, teachers and volunteers who participate in the Rouge Education Project and the Friends of the Rouge team, thank you for your generous contribution to this important program.

As the exclusive sponsor of three Southfield public schools, the support from DENSO International America will ensure that these students and their teachers receive the training, equipment and resources they need in order to successfully continue in the project.

In addition, as the sole supporter of the Rouge Education Project's two major Water Quality Monitoring workshops, DIAM is not only providing support to schools in its headquarters' city, but also to schools in the 47 other communities located in the watershed. Support of these major workshops encourages one of the most important facets of the project: to create a collaborative environmental education program that is watershed wide.

Improvements in the environment lead to improvements in public health and quality of life. Improvements are made when citizens take an interest in their environment.The Rouge Education Project reinforces that this process of improving the environment can be fun and that taking care of our small portion of the planet is important. DIAM's support of this program demonstrates that this is important to your organization as well.

Thank you,
