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.

The best is the best option. Sign up to me, please! I am 25 years of dealing with forest management. I have a great interest in permaculture and “edible forest” is not only developing country, but this option might be in Haiti. Perfect place for me to learn and appropriate voluntary work. I would like to plant trees, and more livable community in the world to promote collaborative work with me. Now I found what is most perfect for me. I think the community work better for the people and the world as well. Would be a great happiness for me if I could help a volunteer team of people in Haiti. Please accept my application so happy as I mean I have this wonderful opportunity. God bless you all! I respect you I’m waiting for their answer!

I am not Vegan, but I am aware of our need to help those less fortunate and to be aware of our enviroment and the need to live as a universal “family”. I am not sure of how discipline I will be to a Vegan diet, but i want to help the people of Haiti. Let me know how I can fit in without signing a contract that i will eat strictly vegan. I am a registered nurse, and i would love to do volunteer work with the community in anyway that is helpful.

P.P. S. We use a composting toilet to enrich our soil.. have for 15 years. I could be a consultant in this matter…It requires diligence and care…but could really help the poor soil of Haiti. Diane Meucci

I would very much like to take part in your project this June.
I am a 23 years old guy from Dublin. I have completed 2 previous Permaculture design courses but in temperate climates.
I am really excited by the idea of helping people and learning about exotic tree species as I wish to practice forestry.
Please contact me as soon as is convenient.
Yours Faithfully,
Eoin Anglim

Hi there Sadhana forest:)
This is Kate, I stayed with you guys for 4ish months in India last year. I am now in the USA and pretty excited to hear about this course in Haiti! I was thinking to pay a visit to Sadhana Haiti at some stage and this sounds perfect, is there some kind of application form? Also is there anyway to get to Haiti by boat or a way to contact others interested in doing the course, I’d like to see if anyone would be keen to sail there?? Just an idea! Awsome hope to hear from you soon 🙂

Hi Nick,
I’m planning in going to Haiti to wwoof in August.
Your curse looks like a good opportunity to help the local community.
I’ll not be there in June, but I can try to be there in August 1st. Can you use a extra par of hands for 10 days? 😉
I’ll help with $4 a day, but I’m not Vegan, is that ok?
Let me know, as I’m making traveling plans now.
Thank you
Joao Amado
