permaculture

[Sean Maley <semaley@yahoo.com>]

I'm starting to wonder about Nepal.  We had several
students trying to get to the course outside NYC,
happening now.  At first, they wanted bank account
information, so they could deposit the funds.  Some
sort of NGO in Nepal actually made direct arrangements
with our bank.  However, they were forced to pull out
when they were refused visa's by their government.

Given the extreme level of poverty in Nepal, it would
make sense that a lottery system would be employed. 
Given the difficulty attending a class for the
"winners", it would make sense that these winners
might be frustrated trying to get to a course.  It
would also make sense for someone in Nepal to consider
$1300 a big business deal.  The fact that their email
correlates to a site that shows products, but doesn't
offer them for sale, may be incidental.

Nepal is a great place if anyone wants to do a course
there.  Is this his real offer to Toby, whom he may be
showing respect asking for a course in Nepal for the
people not able to leave their country for fear of
defection?

Just some thoughts.  I have no knowledge of the
reality.
