PDC in Dabipani

today i and the participants go down to dabipani. this one looks to be a great group, and thus, course. there will be 15-17 people, 7 or 8 of them foreigners. (one is never sure of things here till they actually happen.) we have an environmental science professor, a man who works at a power plant (not nuclear,i think), a women who has built an organic farm product distribution system into delhi, and some farmers. many of the foreigners have some to more experiences in organic farming, building with bamboo, sustainability, social issues and have been exploring these in india. i'll definetely be having these folks sharing their knowledge and experiences with us all. one of the things i love about doing these courses is how much i learn. with indians, americans, british, kiwi, and finish people this course has lots of edge. it will be a great time.

i have been trying to get my mobile internet connection to work with my apple. the service works as i can get it through the phone, however, with cable or bluetooth my mac cannot find the server. my phone co. here is who i get the service from. they have not been able to get it to work either, despite several hours of trying. apple is very rare here and perhaps the motorla sets here are not set to work with macs. the bluetooth does connect between the two. anyone have any ideas? if so, please place a comment to this writing. i'll be calling both companies soon.

with this situation and my time in dabaipani my next posting will be in just over two weeks.

much peace

sounds like a great group, rico. the energy and knowledge sharing will be high. i look forward to hearing about it.

i have no idea about the mac/phone thing. maybe send an email thru apple.com.

it's harvest time here! canning galore. only one light freeze and it's into october so the garden is still going strong. also, we've been blessed with so much rain. good soakers. and the mountains are adorned with golden aspens...ahhh. hope you are well. xo jennysue
