Warm greetingsfromThailand

Weare hoping someone can help us. WE are trying to getin touchwith a man 
named Yoot  who lives here in Thailand, in ChiangMai. WE haveemailed several 
times and wonderif anyone hashis phone number or other contact information. 
We want to talk with him and are trying to track down some resource books, 
including theDesigners Manual. ANy help would be great.

Also, we were just given about 11 acres here in northern thailand to startour 
project the Whispering Seed, a home for orphaned and abusedchildren and a 
communitylearning center. WE have been working onthe land for the past 
monthand have been talking aboutwanting to host a pctraining course on 
theland some timein the oct,nov,decemberof thisyear. 

Unfortunately, the land was just burned fairlybadly.  WE are not sure what 
happened, aslots of firesin this area during the dryseason and people burning 
fields to grow more taro potato.

Along with the burned land,the neighborsalso cut a largepart of the land 
thinking that it wastheirs, so theycould grow plant more taro. THeycutall the 
bamboo and trees.

ANy suggestions onthe land, what to doto helpthe land afterthe burningand 
anyideas on replanting for the areawhich wascutwould be great.

WE have about 15 jackfruit trees, andanassortmentoflemon, tamarind, 
pineapple, mango, bananawhich was all burned. SOme looks like itwill come 
back butwe are not sure whatdirection to go with the land at this point.

ANy suggestions aboutthe landwould be greatly appreciated.

Pray for Peace!!!!
