My Projects

(projects i'm involved in)

we could do with some help

Project: maemutgarden

Posted by Marco Tosi almost 12 years ago

opportunities for volunteers.

We have been working at maemutgarden for nearly two years, in this time we have built our house with adobe bricks, planted around one thousand trees, harvested rice twice and started a number of veggie beds.

We make our own compost, fertilizers and pesticides, and have ongoing building work in the shape of an adobe workshop/toolshed and also a new wooden bungalow. There is also ongoing work in the garden and this summer we will be planting a new small "forest" of indigenous trees.

More information can be found at www.maemutgarden.com

We are now looking for help to enhance our online presence, this is something we are not very good at. The "work" involves getting a feel for the place, exploring and creating a small photo library of the place, with a view to improve/expand our blog and possibly creating a new facebook page. There would also be opportunity to join in any activity already happening, all our work is done with the help of a small crew of local guys from the area, so we are not really looking for cheap extra digging manpower, but there is quite a lot of interesting stuff to learn by joining in and a chance to experience thai village life first hand.

There is accommodation available, see photo below. Contact me at [email protected] for more details if you are interested.

Legend of Badges

Note: The various badges displayed in people profiles are largely honesty-based self-proclamations by the individuals themselves. There are reporting functions users can use if they know of blatant misrepresentation (for both people and projects). Legitimacy, competency and reputation for all people and projects can be evidenced and/or developed through their providing regular updates on permaculture work they’re involved in, before/after photographs, etc. A spirit of objective nurturing of both people and projects through knowledge/encouragement/inspiration/resource sharing is the aim of the Worldwide Permaculture Network.

	Member A member is a permaculturist who has never taken a PDC course. These cannot become PDC teachers. Members may be novice or highly experienced permaculturists or anywhere in between. Watch their updates for evaluation.
	Permaculture Matchmaker One of these badges will show if you select your gender and the "I'm single, looking for a permaculture partner" option in your profile.
	PDC People who claim to have taken a Permaculture Design Certificate (PDC) course somewhere in the world.
	PDC Verified People who have entered an email address for the teacher of their PDC course, and have had their PDC status verified by that teacher. Watch their updates for evaluation.
	PRI PDC People who’ve taken a Permaculture Research Institute PDC somewhere in the world.
	PDC Teacher People who claim to teach some version of PDC somewhere in the world.
	PRI Teacher With the exception of the ‘Member’ who has never taken a PDC, all of the above can apply to become a PRI PDC Teacher. PRI PDC Teachers are those who the PRI recognise, through a vetting board, as determined and competent to teach the full 72-hour course as developed by Permaculture founder Bill Mollison – covering all the topics of The Designers’ Manual as well as possible (i.e. not cherry picking only aspects the teacher feels most interested or competent in). Such teachers also commit to focussing on the design science, and not including subjective spiritual/metaphysical elements. The reason these items are not included in the PDC curriculum is because they are “belief” based. Permaculture Design education concerns itself with teaching good design based on strategies and techniques which are scientifically provable. PRI PDC Teachers may be given teaching and/or consultancy offerings as they become available as the network grows.
	Aid Worker The individual with this badge is indicating they are, have, or would like to be involved in permaculture aid work. As such, the individual may or may not have permaculture aid worker experience. Watch their updates for evaluation.
	Consultant The individual with this badge is indicating they are, have, or would like to do paid permaculture design consultancy work. As such, the individual may or may not have permaculture consultancy experience. Watch their updates for evaluation.
	Community Project Community projects are projects that help develop sustainable community interaction and increase localised resiliency.
