Hello global permaculture community! and our Southern California home 
communities...

IPC-UK organizers have started a Permaculture CROWDFUNDER campaign to 
help get people from across the world to the 12th International 
Permaculture Convergence (IPCUK) in the United Kingdom & London, 
hosted by the Permaculture Association of Britain. (thank you 
Permaculture Association!)

Always exciting to see all the projects and work of Permaculture 
practitioners from around the world.  For past International 
Permaculture Convergences (IPC's) a valiant effort was made by 
individuals and local permaculture associations to help provide 
scholarships for those from cash poor, but incredibly skill rich 
countries to attend.  Now we want to amp up the scholarship effort, 
make it even more inclusive with larger representation than ever for 
this convergence and setting the model for future convergences, so we 
ask your help.

Already there are over 60 great scholarship applications for IPC-UK 
and with this crowdfunder organizers want to support as many nations 
as possible to be present.

Please consider the value Permaculture has made to your life and be 
generous with your gift, knowing these IPC's are truly the bedrock on 
which the Permaculture movement we take for granted was built.  With 
early permaculturists meeting every two years to strategize on how to 
take permaculture out to the world, when it was still a basically 
unknown word and concept.  Wow, when you think about it, without 
them, permaculture may have remained an essentially localized 
Australian phenomenon, a big loss for the rest of the world and us.

It is a heroic job for a local permaculture association to host one 
of these IPC'c, it's like throwing a party for the world!  So let's 
all join in and help with the scholarship part, get a big and wide 
group of really smart permaculture people together to network, build 
partnerships, share innovative permaculture thinking and designs, 
other worlds are possible.  We have a future in front of us that 
needs ALL the creative minds of permaculture global permaculture 
community, no one left out for lack of funds.

with gratitude for open hearts & pocket books,
