“Seeds after the earthquake” - International Clayballs for Peace Meeting in Haiti

Estimados Todos, queremos compartir con ustedes una experiencia de permacultura y agricultura natural en la reconstrución de Haiti después del terremoto. La actividad se llama “Seeds after the earthquake - International Clayballs for Peace Meeting in Haiti" y se llevará a cabo entre el 26 de Octubre al 5 de Noviembre del 2010.

"After the earthquake that severely damaged Haiti in January 2010, we have the opportunity of acting in a concrete way to show solidarity with our Haitian sisters and brothers. We firmly believe that the real richness we can bring is in the improvement of the fertility of the soil, creating biodiversity and providing an ecosistem that will raise the amount of water in the environment as well as creating a food forest for the people to enjoy. Haiti suffers from extremely arid conditions. As a result, food production is low and the country is forced to import approximately 70% of its food. After the recent disaster Haitian people are even more dependent on foreign aid and imports.

From the 26th October up to the 5th of November 2010 people from different parts of the world together with local people from Haiti will meet at the international ecovillage community of Sadhana Forest Haiti (www.sadhanaforesthaiti.org) in Anse a Pitre, Haiti to learn how to make different types of seed-clayballs and throw them together on the land. We will all contribute to the recreation of an indigenous forest that will bring life and fertility as well as human solidarity and we will live together as a big community." Para leer más pinche aquí
