Hi Paul...
I've been quietly stalking you for about a decade now, and I really appreciate what you are saying about TRYING. When we came up with the idea of Green Rainbow, we were 4 people and a giant dog living in one room in a squat with no toilet or shower, and almost never enough to eat. We said if we were lucky we could do it in ten years. But we had hope and we tried. And we tried. And we tried some more, and are still trying.
Now 3 years later, we're renting a small apartment, have built our team and plans, and have just launched fundraising for land for our first eco-village. Yes, first. We are starting with a small piece of land here in Greece, then we are going global! Our team is international, and all of us are immigrants and refugees. We are going to create places that provide free permaculture education, community bridge-building events, and art spaces, while also feeding our hungry neighbors.
This crazy dream seemed impossible, but we had hope and we tried. If all goes well, we will buy the land this year. Then Green Rainbow 2.0 in Cameroon next year!
We're doing this, no matter what!
