Natural Solutions Foundation Volunteers

Hi. Just wanted to give you all an update on the VotM Volunteer program before Gen. Bert and I head out to Codex the day after tomorrow. We have 8 wonderful people here working diligently on a whole series of projects: preparing garden boxes for our Intensive Urban Agriculture teaching program (spreading pretty quickly throughout the entire province), doing internet research to get the information that we need on reclaiming soil, transitioning farms to BeyondOrganic/BioDynamic farming, looking at worm farm options, etc. Today we were visited not only by 4 Americans (without an appointment, which played Hobbs with my schedule and Bert's of course) who want to be part of the Valley of the Moon. This is happening a lot. Bert took care of them while I met with our 8 volunteers, including 3 new folks! We had so much to talk about that we had about a 2.5 hour meeting: tasking, updates on the health freedom situation in the US and elsewhere, discussions of how we were going to move forward with the opportunities to move Chiriqui Province and Panama toward BeyondOrganic/BioDyamic food production, etc., etc. Ruth said that she has been invited to address a local school and will talk to them about littering. We decided that we would have a potluck supper this weekend to develop the interactive activity (that's jargon for game) which we have been asked to include in a presentation for about 600 students in David, I told folks that we will become a test site for nutrients made by manufacturers who want to be able to document the safe, effective use of their nutrients. And we talked about Codex, which you may already know is a UN Commission designed to degrade the world's food supply and why we need to go to the meeting in Dusseldorf next week. We are taking one of the volunteers with us as an "aide de camp" and discussed what will happen while we are away here at home. Patricia, the House Manager, discussed the house and some of the issues there. Interesting side note: the people who came to visit included an 89 year old WW Veteran (wearing his cap that declared him to be so). His daughter really gets what is happening in the US and does not want to take him to a hospital where he would be killed for economic reasons (as is happening in the UK and now in the US - but that is another story). Anyway, he has heard her talk about the New World Order, etc., and dismissed all of it out of hand, When he hear Bert and me talking about the same things, he put up a spirited debate but, in the end, could not argue against the documentation from the genocidalists themselves. His daughter came to say good by and said that her dad had gone out to the car and started to cry because he finally "got it" and he was so devastated. It is hard. Of that there is no doubt. I was deeply touched by that and so were the rest of us. Meanwhile, things are moving apace and we would love to know your thoughts and plans. Oh, please do not just show up like the visitors today! Yours in health and freedom, Dr. Rima
