[Pil-pc-oceania] Helping fund third world change agents to the IPC8

[pacific-edge]

Hi

Just in case you haven't come across it and you would like to help fund
'Third World Change Agents' to go to the international permaculture
conference in Brazil mid May to early June you can go to their website:


Text from their website:
Adopt a Worker

Many businesses, both large and small, can support the International
Permaculture Conference 8 (IPC8) through donations and through sponsorships.
The Adopt a Community Worker Program is our strategy to enable 10 African,
10 Asian and 10 Latin American community workers to participate in the IPC8
Conference.  

This will provide important Third World change agents the opportunity to
make international contacts, collect the latest technical information and
make the connections they will need to continue their work.

The cost to adopt a community worker for travel, conference participation
and a one month stay is USD $4000.  These partnerships enable businesses to
professionally associate with the activities of IPC8 and support many
important projects to be undertaken which would otherwise simply not happen.
