PERMACULTURE DESIGN COURSE HOSTS ROSTER OF INSTRUCTORS FROM AROUND THE WORLD

PDC FOR INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT & SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP AT QUAIL SPRINGS

(excerpts from April 2012 Press Release)

Monetary assistance and training without stewardship ethics seems to be the
standard for international aid today. With over 14 billion given by the U.S.
Agency for International Development alone, it is increasingly important to
ensure the results of aid are regenerative....

By using permaculture as a sustainable design framework to help secure
community and individual stability, Quail Springs is innovating a new
pathway for the international development community. Their upcoming
Permaculture Design Certification course (PDC), taught by professionals with
experience in international development projects, will teach participants
sustainable systems thinking, design strategies and provide a comprehensive
approach to permaculture as a tool for future development projects.

The instructors, hailing from Quail Springs in Southern California, all the
way to Africa, span a gamete of professions whose various experiences make
up an impressive group whose international efforts have seen much success.

Warren Brush, Julius Piti, Loren Luyendyk, Pete Schwartz and Lyn Hebenstreit
constitute just five of the equally established twelve instructors involved
in the course. Warren Brush is the co-founder of Quail Springs, Sustainable
Vocations and numerous other permaculture and peacemaking oriented projects.
Warren?s extensive understanding of permaculture and work with his
organizations, as well as others, has sent him around the world to work in
numerous development projects side by side, be it with other permaculture
organizations or child soldiers in Africa.

Julius Piti, a Mozambican, has worked extensively in Africa. Julius?  
work in community building led him to the Chakuwa village permaculture
project in Zimbabwe. Chakuwa became one of Africa?s most successful post-war
success stories by employing permaculture through an integrated agricultural
approach. His constant work and dedication has made him a prominent
peacemaker and community-building expert in Africa. His successes in using
permaculture for community building in Africa bring an in-depth first hand
understanding of permaculture?s potential for sustainable development
projects.

In addition to the founders of different permaculture organizations above,
the instructing roster also includes a university professor.  
Pete Schwartz is a physics professor at Cal Poly focusing on society,
development, and sustainability.  His student research involves developing
low-impact technologies appropriate for developing countries (and for the
USA as well), including concentrated solar power, passive solar heating,
improved cooking facilities, and electric transportation. The practice and
application of these studies can be exemplified by the collaborative summer
school in Guatemala, Guateca which represents a natural extension of
Schwartz?s academic, technical, and societal efforts.

Loren Luyendyk and Lyn Hebenstreit both add to the diversity of permaculture
talent and knowledge available to participants.  
Luyendyk?s international permaculture work with Surfers without Borders and
Lyn, the founder of the international organization Global Resource Alliance
(GRA) will combine with the rest of the instructors to display the variety
of potential applications for permaculture in international development
projects, highlighting sustainable agriculture, to community development....

?vital for rebuilding the dream of America.?

experts on water harvesting, Owen Dell (www.owendell.com/index.html) , an
