permaculture

[Joshua Dolan <rainbowwarrior14874@yahoo.com>]

Hello Akiva:

Nice to read about your place in the Holy Land.  I too
am also interested in learning about any permaculture
projects that you may know of in your region,
particularly on the west bank.  I know that there is
an amazing project just over the river in Jordan
created by Geoff Lawton.  But it seems like the west
bank is in particular need of assistance and I am
wondering if you know of any projects there?  My
partner is headed there in a few days and will be
staying for three months.  She works for a Woman's
Peace house in Palestine, but is interested in
permaculture, particularly how it can help in healing
communities stricken by war, how it might be used as a
peaceful tool of reconciliation, how it can be used to
empower woman, etc.  Can you point me in the right
direction?
