2010 Exchange Program in El Salvador

Fri, 02/10/2009 - 18:51 — Rob
Dear Friends of IPES,

I`m writing to let you know about an exciting new program which we are 
organizing here at the Permaculture Institute of El Salvador. If you 
know anyone or any university or organization who might be interested, 
please pass this information on, perhaps with a personal 
recommendation.  The program is an important initiative for us to 
improve our income generation as well as provide an opportunity for 
interested people to learn more about El Salvador and our work in IPES.

The Summer 2010 Exchange Program will provide a broad experience and 
understanding of a country in transition following 10 years of civil 
war and 19 years struggling for peace and democracy, a process which 
culminated in the first ever left government elected in March 2009.
The Exchange Program offers the chance to learn about the history, 
politics and culture of El Salvador.  You will meet politicians and 
leaders of social movements; visit museums, galleries, and the beach; 
learn about the work of IPES in supporting ecologically sustainable 
development and have the opportunity to work alongside a rural 
community.

All profits from the Exchange Program will enable us to continue 
supporting 50 small rural communities and teach over 1,000 people ways 
of sustainable living and farming.

Please feel free to check out our website at www.permacultura.com.sv
You will find more information about the Program in the documents 
attached.  If you require any further information please do not 
hesitate to contact us at

Thanks for your support and all the best
Karen Inwood
