permaculture

[sea.anicca@juno.com]

In about 2 weeks, we are hosting a 6 week permaculture training course and 
natural building workshop in Thailand to build the land of a home for 
orphaned and abused children and a community learning center.  

The training is set up to bring 15 foreigners and 15 Southeast Asian 
activists and community leaders. Unfortunately, we did not get the foreign 
participants and are still looking for any extra funds to help this course 
run.

We have a growing list of Thai villagers, community leaders and activists and 
Burmese refugees who will be attending, but funding is very tight. 

WE plan for this to be an annual event to raise awareness of permaculture and 
natural building in Thailand and to support the Thai people already active 
doing this work.  Our project, The Whispering Seed, will soon be a 501 C3 and 
we are hoping to write grants for this kind of work in Asia. 

Any thoughts or ideas in this direction would be greatly appreciated. The 
need in Thailand is huge by the response from people within the country 
neighboring countries, but the funds are not there. 

if anyone is interested in the training, details can be found at

Would love to hear thoughts on this or any ideas.
