There are a number of Seedsaver Groups in North America, but I do not know of any doing the volunteer work in developing countries, as our folk are doing. They work closely with the Permaculture movement and many people are involved in both groups. We are also teaching Permaculture in a lot of developing and damaged countries as a means of empowering locals to take control of their own situation. It is much more to the point to give people the skills and means to grow their own food, than to give ongoing handouts of unfamiliar food. I don't know the Fenton's personally, but have a number of mutual friends. Locally we have a seed bank in our Permaculture Group, which specializes in locally acclimatized food seeds. By doing this we get rare seeds from Seedsavers or others and grow them on for several years, then distribute them locally. This works well.
