[OSList] Message for Eric re Hawaii

[Michael M Pannwitz]

Dear Romy and you others on the LIST,

now that the geography has been put in order again, here is the www for 
the work John Engle does in Haiti
> https://haitipartners.org/

In the earlier days of Haiti Partners, John attended WOSonOSes several 
times and had folks from Haiti attend, too. In the meantime loads of 
folks from Haiti "trained" in ost... all of that was woven into the 
community development and educational projects in Haiti.

Have a look at their website, its an example of what happens in one of 
the poorest countries of the world, permanently stricken with natural 
disasters and political turmoil.

Greetings from Berlin
mmp

PS: Romy: I often remember the "ost-training" I attended in Roffey Park 
that you and the Man with the Hat gave, back in 1996. It was my first 
encounter with ost at age 56 then. It did revolutionize my working life 
and more... and keeps on doing so as I keep enchanting myself with the 
forces of selforganisation. Hugs,mmp.
