However, I've been keeping up with the updates and followed your links back to this article. All I can say now is WOW! It would be wonderful for more landholders and land-leasers to begin thinking like this. I know my thinking is changing more every day. Keep up the good work and thank you for sharing.

All the learnings and understandings you gain must be beyond the unshared's imagination. To survive that and to regather and rebuild must be a quantum change. Bravo! I really look forward to your recount of the whole thing, and not only that but the context before and after. Please take my best of wishes for yourselves and all your friends, I'm sure there are a lot of reassurances and confidences to establish again, and I know you are up to the task. Take care, keep loving, and bolt all those beams together! Peter. Grif & Javiera

Thanks for alerting the global Permaculture communities and, hopefully, the wider population to the current plight of Chilean earthquake and Tsunami victims. My nephew - Grifen Hope - and his wife - Javiera Carrion - and their extended family have been quietly making a difference to the lives of people in the Biobio region of South Western Chile for the last two years. This is a region in a huge country of great, unspoilt natural beauty and vast resources that is little known in our super civilised, ultra modern world. Grifen, Javiera and family should be applauded for their efforts, endurance and resilience in their recent hard work. They are masterful in their Educational Programs and demonstration of transforming a poor and subsistence living, rural area into an eco friendly, self sufficient, sustainable town. Since the February earthquake, and the destruction of their newly created buildings, dam, farmland, crops and gardens they are financially challenged to the extreme. They remain steadfast, positive and busier than ever with remarkable attendances at their courses and seminars. As an inner Brisbane city, Australian resident with all the facilities and advantages of modern city life, I urge us all to take a few minutes out to read about and comprehend lives and lifestyles far removed from our own. Making a contribution to the El Manzano community project, is a small step towards creating a safer, happier, sustainable Mother Earth for US ALL. Donations for Chile can be made via the Permaculture Reserach Institute of Australia.
