Over 36 people from all over South Africa recently attended Permaculture Courses at Rustlers Valley. These courses focused on teaching all Permaculture principles as well as on HIV/ AIDS Medicinal plants and nutrition as the majority of participants are working as home based careers or with AIDS organisations.
Participants commented on the excellence of facilitator ethnobotanist Dale Millard, and the knowledge of Frik Grobbelaar. They enjoyed the living examples of how Permaculture really works, the participatory nature of the courses and the outings to a nearby bio diesel centre.
All said that their expectations had been exceeded. "All of us can learn a passion about food, sustainability and good health from Dale," said Mike Brayshaw of the Vaal Christian School. Zola Ndimande said, "It feels wonderful to know that I now am one of the people who will make changes in other people's lives. I feel fortunate and wish everybody had this opportunity!"
