With Jamie Drew.
The Diocese of Pathein operates several sustainability projects to serve the students, farmers and small business of the local community. For one such project, they have engaged Victorian Jamie Drew, who has been working with staff of the Diocese in developing permaculture education. Here, Jamie shares how traditional knowledge and new techniques have strengthened sustainable permaculture in the community.
Over the years, Father Benjamin has been accumulating land and returning it to nature, preserving it for the families that live there. Some people gave him land because they had no one to work it.
To support the permaculture and sustainable building design project of the Diocese of Pathein, Myanmar, donate today and help us fund 18 further months of professional development training for local residents.
You can visit this project on an Encounter tour to Myanmar and Thailand. Our 2019 tour is full but we are now taking reservations for 2020. Contact Robert at robert@palms.org.au for more information and to reserve your place.
