I expect these spots to fill quickly, so if you’re ready to be taught by some of the best, on a working permaculture farm, than join us in January. You can book here or email Bonnie at education(at)permaculturenews.org to reserve a place.

Courses/Workshops — by Bonnie Freibergs October 23, 2012
As the first point of contact regarding education enquires, I often get asked "why should I do a course through PRI?", or more specifically, "why should I take a PDC at PRI as opposed to…". My answer is always very clear, Geoff Lawton and Zaytuna Farm. Apart from Geoff’s extensive experience, knowledge and wisdom, and Zaytuna Farm’s leading example as a demonstration farm, there is another very important factor. The mark of a good teacher is two fold. Firstly their students will become active and secondly their students will teach. Geoff’s students are extremely active and he producers about one teacher for every 50 students. This is the trade mark of an excellent teacher. This is Geoff’s gift to the permaculture community — willing and able permaculturalists and teachers.

General — by Bonnie Freibergs August 21, 2012
Tiny Eglington, who has been hospitalised in the Riverside Medical Centre, in Bacolod, in the Philippines for an infection is his leg, is now conscious and out of the Intensive Care Unit. Three days after Geoff’s post, PRI had raised $2174.01 which was sent to Tiny. This was enough funds for him to buy blood and have a small operation on his leg — and the good news is that they will not have to amputate. Since the 13th of August PRI has raise another $645.31, which will be sent along with any other funds to Tiny on Friday the 24th of August.
