building WWOOF Bhutan. I am happy to be a consultant to you and a temporary partner to get WWOOFing started in Bhutan. What this would mean is I will offer to will lead you (WWOOF Bhutan and you) thru all the steps as, application process, approval process, WWOOF name registration, website build, internet presence build, hosts base, Bhutan schools, finding International volunteers, build volunteers base, find volunteer teachers for youth and schools, help young people learn conect with other youth from other nations, help young people build self esteem and interest in other youth from other countries and cultures, make friends and exchange cultures, help remote communities build self reliance, food security using Alpine Permaculture Techniques as creating micro climates. To begin we would best create a PayPal account for volunteer fees to be deposited in. We will use this account to pay and cover the website fees, pay any expenses and consulting for my time. I Hope you find this of benefit and interesting. I would expect this agreement to be for only the time to get WWOOF Bhutan running and maximum for two years, after which WWOOF Bhutan can run itself. I will stay on as a consultant retaining say 8% of membership fees each year to continue to be available as a adviser. I believe the experience will be a very valuable asset to Bhutan schools, people and the villages of Bhutan. I would also suggest we run a Permaculture Design Course for Alpine climates (two week course). Permaculture education and teaching in Bhutan could help food resiliency due to its unique Alpine climate. Building a local group of educated Permaculturists growing techniques in Himalayan climates. I suggest create a internet Permaculture group after WWOOF Bhutan is going and we built a WWOOF website, created a host booklet of how to be a host, create a WWOOF Bhutan volunteer list and mailing list. Then we I would suggest we do the same for Permaculture Bhutan with a educational group for training. teach Alpine climate growing skills. I believe we can start almost right away and in six months you will have a functioning group in Bhutan, with volunteers coming to teach in schools, volunteers to help create edible gardens and teach and built by youth in mountain villages and can share new skills. Also share and experience Bhutans gifts of peace, serenity, meditation and community living in the Himalays with visitors and volunteers. One major concern will be the Visa fee to enter Bhutan. Is there a exemptions? At the recent IFOAM Conference on organic foods I believe there was some conversation about a reduction for agriculture and organic food people entering the country? To start and begin we will need some one willing to be WWOOF Bhutan Coordinator and to help manage the website. Once you have that person (perhaps you?) the person will need to be willing to commit to about one hour a day for about three days during the week. I should come and visit and meet you at some point, but first may we speak on Skype if you have an address name and time I can possibly speak together ? Please let me know your thoughts Sir does this meet your needs. I take action and get results, but do not be put off by my direct action. Life is short and there is much to be done, us who want to make a difference are responsible to take action. It goes without saying the results will always be in the hands of Buddah, but the responsibility for action is ours.
