Permaculture Around the World Series
"From the Mara Soil" film showing
Permaculture & Abundant Living in Rural East Africa
Tanzania
Thursday, Dec 9, 7pm-9pm 2009, Donation $5
Santa Barbara Central Library, Faulkner Gallery
Join Santa Barbara Permaculture Network as it continues its
Permaculture Around the World series, highlighting the path of
Permaculture around the globe, this time in Tanzania, East Africa.
What if global hunger, poverty and disease could be solved
with the natural and abundant resources already at our disposal?
From the Mara Soil, a film directed by Steve Schrenzel, transports
you to a community in rural Tanzania trying to answer this question
with a novel approach to solving humanity's greatest
challenges---with simple, natural, and affordable solutions, many
inspired by Permaculture.
The Mara region of Tanzania is one of the poorest in Africa.
Nestled between beautiful Lake Victoria and the famous Serengeti
Plain, it is home to approximately 1.3 million residents, with a per
capita income for most households of less than fifty cents per day.
As one community member states in the opening of the film "In
Tanzania, we don't have war, we don't have dictator, we only have
poverty". This abject poverty creates untold stresses and challenges
for both the people and the environment.
Global Resource Alliance (GRA) based in Ojai, CA, is an
organization dedicated to bringing hope, joy and abundance to the
world's most impoverished regions, and has a Center located in
Musoma, a small city in the Mara region. Their work includes
assistance to AIDS orphans, malaria prevention, primary water
resource development, alternative energy strategies, solar cooking,
micro-finance, and currently a permaculture focus on nearby Kinesi, a
village of 5000 on the banks of Lake Victoria, where the film takes
place.
Attending the "Permaculture & Sustainable Aid for the 21st
Century" three day conference hosted by Santa Barbara Permaculture
Network in 2006 with permaculture teacher Geoff Lawton from
Australia, GRA co-founders Lyn Hebenstreit and Tara Blasco were
inspired to host a Permaculture Design Course (PDC) with Geoff in
Musoma the following year. This design course resulted in many local
PDC graduates and a permaculture plot at the Musoma GRA Center,
already evolving into a lush model for the surrounding area.
In 2009, members of the Musoma GRA Center traveled to Malawi
Africa to attend the 9th International Permaculture Convergence
(IPC9), where wonderful connections with others practicing
permaculture in Africa took place. Julious Piti and Alias Mlambo,
long time permaculturists from the Chikukwa Ecological Land Use
Community Trust, Chimanimani district Zimbabwe, were hired to assist
with the design of Kinesi Village. Being aware that Tanzania is in
the center of Africa, the hope is these positive strategies and
models will radiate out to the rest of the continent, leaving poverty
and despair behind.
Please join Santa Barbara Permaculture Network as we share
the dedicated and enlightened work of the Global Resource Alliance
co-founders, Lyn Hebenstreit and Tara Blasco. Film-maker Steve
Schrenzel will also be in attendance. Santa Barbara Permaculture
Network was honored to have visited the GRA Center in Tanzania last
year on the way to Malawi for the International Permaculture
Convergence, to read more about that visit:
http://www.sbpermaculture.org/talkstory.html.
The event takes place on Thursday, December 9, 7-9 pm at the
downtown Santa Barbara Public Library, 40 East Anapamu St, Santa
Barbara, CA. Donation $5, no reservations needed. For more
information visit our website at www.sbpermaculture.org
FROM THE MARA SOIL takes you to a stunning but impoverished region in
Tanzania, where a handful of activists are fighting food scarcity,
water shortage, disease, health problems, and deforestation by
teaching their people to use Mother Nature to lift themselves out of
poverty.
Produced by Global Resource Alliance. Directed by Steve Schrenzel.
Global Resource Alliance (GRA) makes a commitment to help reach the
United Nations Millennium Development goal to reduce by half, the
number of people suffering from abject poverty, hunger and lack of
access to clean water and basic sanitation by the year 2015. To

Hot off the press!
This rocket mass heater is set up to warm your toes by giving you heat
from the floor!
Plus, another innovation is a bypass valve - it should help with
getting fires started at the beginning of the season.
