Join Jill Cloutier of Sustainable World and Margie Bushman of Santa 
Barbara Permaculture Network on Friday, January 18, from 9-10am for 
an interview with Isabela Coelho, one of the founders of OPA, the 
Organization of Permaculture and Art in Brazil.

While attending the 8th International Permaculture Conference in 
Brazil last May 2007 Santa Barbara Permaculture visited several 
permaculture centers in Brazil.  A shining star was OPA , created in 
2004 by multicultural artists and educators of diverse backgrounds. 
OPA is in the process of establishing a center in the historic 
Pelourinho district of Salvador to demonstrate innovative urban 
permaculture models and function as a multi-purpose art space. They 
began with "Circo Agua Viva", a project of environmental education 
through circus arts and educational theater with underprivileged 
children and at-risk youth in Salvador. Their ECO-Surfista 
educational program, combines Surf and Permaculture on the Bahian coast.

For more information about OPA and how to support their work, visit 
their website at : www.opabrasil.org.

***Of special note: A short film on OPA's work will be shown at the 
upcoming 5th Annual Santa Barbara Brazilian Carnaval on Feb 1,2,3, 
2008.  A Film Screening is planned as a kickoff for the 3 day event, 
OPA's film will precede the main feature, a movie about the evolution 
and style of music in Rio de Janeiro (go to www.soulbrasil.com to 
learn more).  Come out and learn a little bit more about Brazil, a 
dynamic and wonderful country.
