Innocent is my name, I am a Developmment Officer of Ekukhanyeni Relief Project. A food security operating in the deep South of the empoverished Johannesburga in South Africa. I was fascinated when I fascinated when I visited this page because this is the exact forum we deeply need in our farming world. Currently Our project is selling a permaculture handbook which is user friendly for beginners, the cost price is 12 australian dollars, we are selling permaculture seeds most of which are indiginious from our African continent. The reason we have decided to engage in this project of selling seed and permaculture books is because we want to spread the word. In my opinion this is the only way we can equipe our poor communities to better their livelihood. If you want to order our books and seed please email me on masayira@ekukhanyeni.org. or visit our website: www.ekukhanyeni.org. Mind through our permaculture project we are able to feed 888 malnourished children. Moreover we capacitate 360 annually into permaculture strategies. Donations are welcome to adopt a back yard creches garden for as little as 10 australian dollars a day. To who all the people who visit this site, once more remember African Children.

I am reminded of something a guest speaker said to a school assembly I attended when I must have been about 10 years old. The most important moment in the future is right now. The most important place is right here. We can wax lyrical about greening deserts and all manner of things, but unless we start by doing something - and doing it here and doing it now - then it all is folly. I suspect that the lack of immediate, local action among attendees of PDC courses has given rise to some of the misunderstanding of what permaculture can offer. I also suspect that if we each act now and act here, then the principles of permaculture will emerge with a momentum that will outlive its very name. I will report on my doings in my little part of the world. Expect to hear from me, Craig. I have just read the essay from Craig and then every comment that has been posted.

Time will tell what and who are changing the world for the better and you will not have to wait too long now. If you think you can teach PDC's and produce active students you should get out there and do it. If you can do for free good, if you can do it and charge lots of money that is fine too, because if you are real the third ethic tells you what to do with your surplus. Then feel free to report in to this web site and we will show case your much needed success to the world for you.

There is a very real danger of a "preaching water and drinking wine" situation here. The acid test - I think - is: do an individual's activities really lead to an overall improvement in terms of healthier soils, reduced emissions, a reliable energy supply, and overall resilience? Pete,

The world over teachers are paid for their labor and not expected to donate their time. Permaculture should be no different. But yes, we do need more permaculture farms producing food and more people growing food for themselves. But we also need more demonstration sites out there to connect to them.

Apart from the wall streets, oil rigs, etc and not forgetting the real estate developers, banks, pharmaceutical, chemical, seed and other corporations whose staff are paid OBSCENE amounts of money to rip people off and bribe government officials, do people expect to do a university course for no money? I'm actually thinking of enrolling my 7 year old grand-daughter in university because it would be a helluva lot cheaper than child care! However, a university course would be totally useless in this changing world ... I would prefer that she do a permaculture course and learn skills for life. Bravo Scott.
