9th International Permaculture Conference Oct/Nov 2009  -Africa needs help raising  Funds  -DC, www.ipc9.org

hi everyone
        The IPC9 Organizing Committee has just  finalized dates for the IPC9 PDC, Conference, Convergence , and Tours.(see dates  below ).
        Now the IPCda Conference part of the IPC9 needs help and leads to raise US$ 42,000 or £20,260 for a deposit on the South African Conference Venue..
        
        Please help by emailing/contact David Christer  <frogscvc@mweb.co.za>  SA Organising Committee with donations or leads for organizations that might help with funding for the Conference first. 

All help will be appreciated
        Thanks Wes Roe and Margie Bushman Facilitators IPC9 International Support Group

IPC9-Africa - SA Organising committee and International Support Group

We have now reached consensus amongst the local, regional and international role players about the dates for the IPC9-Africa events.

The dates are as follows:

IPC9c :



The PDC course in Zimbabwe

11 to 23 October 2009
 
IPC9a:: 



The Conference in SA

(CSIR International Conference Centre - Tshwane) 
26 to 28 October 2009
 
IPCb::
The Convergence in Malawi
2 to 7 November 2009

IPC9d:



The Post Conference Tours of PC in the region

8 to 20 November 2009

Could you please publicise these events.

The pressing issue at  this stage is FUNDING. Regarding the South African Conference a 50% deposit of R314 000 is payable by the end of June 2008  to secure the conference venue. This approximates to about US$ 42,000 or £20,260.  Your assistance in the fund raising is essential to the success of the event. Please let me know how you can be of assistance.

Best regards
