[Scpg] SAT June 15/Global Resource Alliance Event in Ojai/Join them for a free Vegan Dinner...

[Margie Bushman, Santa Barbara Permaculture Network]

Remember our friends in Ojai at Global Resource Alliance (GRA) who 
have done such extraordinary work in Tanzania, including hiring 
permaculturist Julious Piti (who visited Santa Barbara last year from 
Chikukwa, Zimbabwe) to help with the permaculture design work for one 
of their projects, a village of 5000 on the banks of Lake Victoria in 
Tanzania featured in the documentary "From the Mara Soil"?

well, next Saturday, they are once again sharing abundance with an 
annual dinner where you can enjoy a beautiful Ojai evening at 
Meditation Mount, while learning about their current projects. it is 
a global community we live in now, no escaping that fact, there is 
lots to learn from what another part of the world is doing to 
implement change for a more sustainable future. The dinner is free, 
but you MUST RSVP (details below) in order to attend.

***Margie & Wes visited Tanzania and the GRA Center in 2009 on the 
way to the International Permaculture Convergence in Africa.  We were 
amazed at how quickly permaculture was implemented once the ideas 
were shared!  and talk about abundance, lush food forests sprung up 
where formerly bare ground, surprised everyone how quickly this can 
happen in a tropical climate with good design to capture water and 
building of the soils.  The wells pictured are taking advantage of 
pure rock water coming from deep fissures in the earth, an ancient, 
but almost lost technique (they are not taping into the water table 
that can ultimately have negative impacts)

Emacs!
