Koreen,

My partner, Celini, and I were able to go to the IPC based on a scholarship
and financial assistance. It was, to us, a most wonderful experience. As we
are geographically isolated, living in a remote area in the far south of
Belize, and seldom travel, as our farm is full time work to manage, the
opportunity presented to meet so many people interested in and practicing
permaculture (including you), was amazing. Two months later, we had enough
funds that we could have covered the costs, but at the time of the IPC, we
were financially stressed.

Right now we do not have the funds to go, or the time, this is part of our
tree planting season, we would like to donate something to help someone else
so that they may be able to attend this. Considering how fortunate we were to
have had this opportunity made for us, it is the least we can do.

I am having problems with paypal. Is there a bank account I can cable USD100
to, or a site I can use my credit card?

Have fun. Solve the worlds problems!

Christopher
