Skye update--PC in SPanish...




At the Latinamerican PC Congress in Argentina in March of last year Skye met
our colleague Ivone, fell in love with her, and they are now married-- so
Skye now lives in Brazil--our good fortune!

Alejandra Caballero published an excellent book in Mexico, composed of a lot
of alternative techniques...
Mollison´s book was also translated into Portuguese but has sold out.
Apparently the Spanish translation was not very well done.

We have two books in Portuguese, : Carolyn Nuttalls "A Children´s Food
Forest" (Agrofloresta para Criança), and a small course book that I
published: "Permaculture , the abundant homestead" (Permacultura: O Sìtio
Abundante").

If you look on the Internet, I think you will find quite a lot of material.
Look under "Permacultura"...

Good luck!

Marsha
