Helen, our project co-ordinator from UK has been to visit Norbert, the team and pupils over the last few days and she reports, “It was a delight to visit the school, meet the students and staff, and hear about the permaculture project there – so much positive feedback, and I am still marvelling at how much has been achieved in such a short space of time.
The demo plots at Asilomar base are also going well, and Norbert and I have had some really good conversations looking not just at the now, but also at the possibilities of what could lie ahead.”

Helen has written up a fascinating personal summary of her visit on her own blog “Soft heart, hard feet” - it is in 2 instalments!
