Dear Members,
My name is Beate Klein, and I have been living in Frankfurt with my husband for over 30 years. After many years as a civil servant in the tax administration, I now have more time to volunteer.

I have been connected to Tropica Verde for more than 20 years. By a happy coincidence, I first learned about the organization back then, and I have been a member ever since. Over the years, I have followed Tropica Verde’s development with great interest and have regularly supported the organization’s work.
In 2020, I had the opportunity to see some of Tropica Verde’s projects in Costa Rica firsthand. The trip—and especially my encounters with the local people—left a lasting impression on me and further strengthened my connection to the organization.
Last year, I had the opportunity to gain my first insights into the committee’s work. I would like to express my sincere thanks to everyone involved, especially the Board of Directors and the previous committee. I was particularly impressed by the high level of commitment, the professionalism, and the spirit of mutual respect.
These experiences have encouraged me to run for a seat on the club’s executive committee at the annual general meeting. I am now looking forward to serving on the Tropica Verde executive committee.
Thank you very much for your trust.
Beate Klein
