Fellow travelers,

Please forward to anyone you think may be interested and qualified...

Nouvelle Vie has just been awarded a contract from UN FAO to expand our urban
food security efforts in the greater Port-au-Prince area. This is an initial
three month program, starting immediately, with strong potential for
extension and expansion to other regions of Haiti. A brief description of the
project is attached (attach original proposal text), and more information
about Nouvelle Vie is available at: www.nouvelleviehaiti.org.

We seek a strong permaculturist with experience working in Haiti to serve as
Project Manager for this program. The Project Manager will be responsible for
meeting all program deliverables, liasing with FAO program officials,
training and supervising 3-4 Nouvelle Vie students who will be working on the
project, managing the project budget, participating in all field work
(including sourcing / procurement of materials), and preparing both internal
reports and reports for FAO. Demonstrated field experience in permaculture is
a requirement, including experience in urban agriculture / rice sack
gardening, composting, and training / teaching. Experience in Haiti and
conversational fluency in French are a must; Kreyol strongly preferred.
Compensation: $1,000USD / month, three-month term starting ASAP. This
position may lead to a longer term role as the program expands, and / or a
training position with Nouvelle Vie; we will soon require a Permaculture
trainer
to conduct the Permaculture components of a three-month advanced training
program to be held in Haiti December 2010-February 2011 for the Nouvelle Vie
Youth Corps.

Please send a CV, brief cover letter, and at least two references to: Joshua
Tosteson, jilt94@gmail.com

With appreciation,

Josh Tosteson
