- Just as a BTW, our daughter Alexandra is in Rio and planning to attend some courses in PermaCulture at one of the institutes there; Tibá (RJ), Ipema(SP), Ipec(GO) or Ipa(AM). Are you into Permaculture? Going to watch your movie now. Best!

- Dearest AlanaLea - beautiful name! Welcome to our small and growing community. We seem indeed to have some interesting things to talk about. I would like to know more about the rainforest nursery and reforestation project you are initiating. We are working on the same idea in the states of Minas Gerais and São Paulo (see the video from the replanting last November here on the community - under "videos"). Looking forward to hearing from you! Best
