Roberto Perez, who many have seen in the documentary, The Power of
Community: How Cuba Survived Peak Oil,
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-O3InwwKnXA>  and was also one of the key
organizing hosts for the International Permaculture Convergence in Cuba in
2011, has always had his eye on the prize, modeling a sustainable future for
his country and the world.

 

Roberto's wife Michelle is launching a modest crowdfund to help her husband
get his Green House B&B dream launched, asking only $5 from all who can give
and share.   Money is such a powerful unit of energy, $5 so little, but can
do so much.  Cuban's don't have access to capital like the rest of us, they
can't even start businesses in same way we do, so this is quite miraculous
what he is attempting.  And even ordinary plumbing & building supplies, due
to the forever and ever, ongoing US Embargo, difficult to find and buy in
Cuba. 

 

Let's share, so he can share, local to global, always an excellent model!
see below for how -  ($5 is good, but for $100, the perk is a free week at
the Green House B&B)

 



 

Dear friends of Roberto,

 

Roberto Perez is renovating an old house in Havana, Cuba, to turn it into a
Social Enterprise; a Sustainability Training Centre and Bed and Breakfast
(B&B). 

 

>From the house Roberto will teach low cost or free permaculture courses to
Cubans and farmers, supported by the income from the B&B.

NOW- We are raising money to surprise Roberto with the funds he needs to get
Roberto's Green House open for business by 2020.

We are asking if you can make a $5 donation to support Roberto's work.
