Merry Christmas from East Africa

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas and my very best wishes to you all.

It has been an exciting year for us and I am so delighted that so many of you have joined me from around the world on the new Permaculture Education Institute online permaculture program.

Thank you

Now we are in East Africa until the end of the year supporting local permaculture teachers and permaculture programs for women and children in need.  Thank you so much for your generous donations to support these programs.

Best wishes for 2019

When I get access to more constant internet, I can’t wait to share with you so many stories, conversations and project updates.

I look forward to chatting with you all in the new year.

Once again, thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Merry Christmas and our very best wishes for 2019.

With Love,

Morag and all the team at Permaculture Education Institute, Our Permaculture Life and Ethos Foundation

wtih Jenipher – who makes and gives free washable sanitary kits to vulnerable girls in western Kenya, and teaches them about looking after themselves. Now she is going to share permaculture gardens in the schools and neighbourhoods too. We have been supporting Jenipher throughout this year with the Gofundme campaign and recently to attend the PDC in Uganda. I go to her home tomorrow.

My crazy travel companions on this trip… seriously though. They have been amazing and now they are permaculture graduates having taken a course with people from Zimbabwe, Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania and Liberia. Very proud of them.
