>      Mesoamerica is a term that recognizes the cultural, ecological,  
> traditional, and sociological similarities, rather than political  
> boundaries of what currently makes up the countries of Central  
> America.  Juan Rojas is a certified permaculture instructor and one  
> of the founders of both the Institute of Mesoamerican Permaculture  
> and thePermaculture Institute of El Salvador who has worked with  
> others to acknowledge these similarities along with the comparable  
> dilemmas and obstacles that countries in the regions share.
>
>       Juan Rojas was born in El Salvador, who after qualifying as an  
> industrial electrician became involved in the trade union struggles  
> of the 1980's.  Forced into exile by a brutal military regime, he  
> spent four years in Mexico, and later eight years in Australia where  
> he studied Permaculture as a useful tool for rebuilding his home  
> country following the peace accords of 1992.
>
> Rojas has been instrumental in establishing grassroots organizations  
> aimed at appropriate methods of farming and land restoration, always  
> seeking the skills and expertise of local farmers.   Since 1994  
> Rojas has been a part of the thirty year old Campesino a Campesino  
> (Farmer to Farmer) movement that has helped farming families in the  
> rural villages of Latin America improve their livelihoods and  
> conserve their natural resources by individual farmers sharing their  
> wealth of wisdom directly with each other.
>
>   Rojas will speak about his experience convening with Permacultura  
> America Latina and the Institute for Mesoamerican Permaculture, an  
> eight day Mesoamerican Convergence on Sustainable Development and  
> Permaculture on the shores of Lake Atitlan in the highlands of  
> Guatemala.  With the pressures of globalization, free trade  
> agreements, privatization, and open market approaches to poverty  
> reduction, the Convergence hoped to address the urgent environmental  
> and social threats facing the region, and create a Mesoamerican  
> alliance. Forty grassroots organizations from the region attended  
> including representatives from Panama, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, El  
> Salvador, Mexico, Belize, Honduras, and Guatemala. Since devastating  
> hurricane Stan had recently impacted the area, participants  
> discussed how vulnerable Mesoamerican countries could better prepare  
> and mitigate the effects of disasters such as earthquakes,  
> mudslides, and hurricanes.
>
>   The event takes place at the Santa Barbara Public Library,  
> Faulkner Gallery, 40 East Anapamu St, in downtown Santa Barbara, on
