Help Build a Flourishing Indiginous Food Forest!
We are now offering a FREE Permaculture Design Certificate (PDC) course, with hands on experience over two months in the summer of 2012 in Anse- Pitres, Haiti. This will give participants the chance to apply their knowledge and help the local Haitian community.
Sadhana Forest Haiti is an international volunteer community that aims to reintroduce an indigenous food forest to Haiti. We share with volunteers and our local community our desire to live sustainably, from organic food growth to alternative energy sources, to composting. We utilize Permaculture techniques and design philosophy to achieve our goals.
As part of the course we will travel to rural communities in Haiti, plant trees and help design and implement little food gardens!
If you have ever dreamed of getting hands on experience and helping supply food security for Haitian communities…
Here is your chance!
We urgently need enthusiastic volunteers to help us restore the environment and improve the quality of life of thoudsands of people.
You will receive training in permaculture design free of charge, while also learning intercultural communication in Haiti from JUNE 11 – AUGUST 10, 2012. Each student will have a chance to apply the permaculture techniques to a specific site in Haiti that will immediatily benfit local Hatiain families.

This is exactly what I was looking for. I can’t imagine a better way to spend the summer (or longer). Sign me up please!
I’m 34 year old Canadian with a background in organic farming and community living, who has been working these past ten years at the local soup kitchen in the city. http://www.theworkingcentre.org/sjk/meal/meal.html
I’ve been cooking meals, working with volunteers, and performing maintenance on the building. There are many things that I like about the place, but the food is unhealthy, I have to fight to get people composting, and the population we’re serving doesn’t want to know about food security or global impact, or health , or the bigger picture, etc.
I have a great interest in Permaculture, and was looking for a design course, so to find one in Haiti, a place that I’ve been drawn to for some time, seems perfect.
I want to come build soil, foster community, help people feed themselves, and plant trees with you.
If I could plant trees for the rest of my life I’d be happy.
I hope to hear from you soon.
