I found your details on line when I was doing some permaculture
research.
I am Lamin s Kinteh Chairman and am currently working on behalf of the
Ecotourism Society, the Gambia to help develop permaculture in the
Gambia. We believe that ecotourism and permaculture are both essential
for sustainable development.
Our aims are to create a central permaculture resource centre as well
as build a strong permaculture network across the country by gathering
as much training materials and information on permaculture and organic
farming as possible. We would then aim to bring the information to the
rural communities in the upcountry regions and create a permaculture
revolution in our country.
We believe that by developing a permaculture movement here, we will
help the government's aims to make the Gambia a 100% organic and food
self-sufficient country.
The challenge is that although we are a nation of farmers, as yet we
don't have any permaculture experts in the country. We were wondering
whether you could help!
We need help with finding some excellent permaculture experts who
might be interested in either becoming skype mentors or coming to the
Gambia to work with us. We have wonderful accommodation to offer them
for free at our permaculture eco lodge near the beach as well as full
office facilities at our offices. We can also feed people who come to
work with us.
In addition we'd be very grateful for any help in building a
permaculture resource centre by finding all the best training videos
and education materials.
Please let me know whether this is something you could help with.
Very best wishes.
