Permaculture community : Gabriel Howearth needs help!! in intensive care in a private hospital in Puerta Vallarta/ needs help!!
Greetings, we have not meet, my name is Kalinda McClain, I am spending this week-end on a mission...trying to help a great Light in the Organic Seed Movement Gabriel Howearth.. 
His life has been challenged he was in a coma and  is now recovering,  but still on a feeding tube. His wife Kitzi  and 2 small sons need the  Permaculture /Organic  /Peace/community to help raise  funds. I am trying to get a web site set up to share his great work for over of over  30 years, so that  everyone who is interested can learn more. Gabriel was co-founder of Seeds of Change, but that is not the story... the story is he and the Gardens in Mexico and his family are in great need.
 I send you information about his crisis with a request that you might use your considerable skills to get the word out with your social network. We all know small amounts of funds can add up and  Gabriel’s in need of funds to help pay his Hospital Bills and the expense for his recovery.
If you are willing to help get the work out would you e-mail me direct at Kalindam at cox.net

Currently he is working with several ecological organizations in central and South America as well as he is available to travel worldwide to teach about Organic seeds and ways to preserve our genetic seed purity locally in order to contribute to the global change in positive ways.

As part of the many consultations he has done recently includes:

Some of his previous work include research work with Sonic Bloom  sound frequencies and music and pyramid enhancement for seeds and plants with documented success written in very popular books: “Secrets of the soil” and “The secret life of Plants” by two famous authors/researchers Peter Tompkins and Christopher Byrd. The results of this research show how certain frequencies and music really works to greatly enhance plant grow production, yield, nutrition, flavor, and quality and germination power of seeds especially enhanced by the combination of the use of Mayan pyramid seed enhancers.

He has traveled around the world and worked with many indigenous people to develop and increase diversity in organic farming and gardening. He has 30 years experience teaching and practicing permaculture, seed saving, biodynamic and organic agriculture.
