[petra.kahle at haztech.com.au]

Fiona, or anyone else, would you be able to collect money from Australia
for this and send it with one enormous bank fee rather than everyone
wasting an enormous bankfee each? It's a minimum of 20 or 30 dollars
Ausralian to send money oversees. Cheers, Petra. ps I can only give A$20.

> 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.
