INTERN OPPORTUNITIES ON PERMACULTURE ACROSS BORDERS (PAB) PROJECT IN RAKAI DISTRICT, UGANDA
Permaculture Across Borders (PAB) is partnering on a project to bring greater food self-sufficiency at a Boarding School and Home for orphaned and vulnerable children in South-Western Uganda. Working with and learning from the community, we plan to use a permaculture-based approach to achieve greater food self-sufficiency and establish the Home as a community resource for learning, teaching, and spreading sustainable agriculture practices. Stage 1: June-July 2008 Rosemary Morrow of Australia leads a hands-on permaculture design process to: Consult with local community leaders Teach a 4-day Introduction to Permaculture course Work with the staff and children at the home on preliminary design and implementation. Stage 2: August 2008-September 2009 3-12 month internship to carry forward design implementation Permaculture Across Borders is partnering and fundraising for this project with Children of Uganda, a registered Ugandan NGO that funds and manages the home. Permaculture Across Borders is a U.S. non-profit who works to provide and pass on technical expertise to further and integrate sustainable practices. This is a wonderful opportunity for an intern with post-PDC experience to work alongside Rosemary and to then stay on-site to help the Home staff implement the design. The plan is to teach a PDC course around the time of the Malawi Convergence in 2009, giving the intern/s an opportunity to co-teach the PDC and travel to Malawi with the team. Rosemary arrives in Uganda on June 24; the 4-day course will begin June 28.
