My name is Kimberly Daniels. I work with a non-profit community
development organization based in the U.S. In October/November 2009, I
participated in a 2-week Permaculture Design Course in Harare,
Zimbabwe and then the convergence in Lilongwe, Malawi. One of the
instructors of PDC 9 was John Nzira. John lives and works in
Johannesburg, South Africa. Through his organization, Urban Farming,
John educates and trains those in the local community. Four weeks ago,
I came to Johannesburg to learn about the use of permaculture in an
African context for addressing poverty issues in West Africa, and more
specifically, Burkina Faso. While here in Johannesburg, I have been
living with John's family in their home on the farm. On Saturday
evening, August 6, 2011, as John was preparing to leave the big house
to go to a hut about 200 meters from the house, four men broke into
the home. John was shot multiple times but is now in the hospital
recovering. I won't go into details about all that transpired that
night; my hope is that the permaculture community, in pacticing the
second and third ethics of permaculture, will help.
Stolen that night were: John's computer, his harddrive a projector, a
blackberry cell phone, $700 US dollars, and R 2,000. I also lost two
computers and my blackberry cell phone in the robbery. If you can help
out with any of the following as it concerns John, that would be
awesome:
- Funds to help John get back on track, as this is his livelihood;
also taking care of his family;
- Permaculture resources (powerpoints, videos, training materials,
etc.), as he lost everything that was on his computer and harddrive;
- A new laptop;
- A portable harddrive;
- Resources for installing/fixing outside lights; electric fencing and
outside beams; razor wire; panic buttons; outside movement sensors;
and reactiving ADT security;
- Donated labor
I'm not exactly sure about John's email address, since I didn't have
it in this email account. However, if you google John's organization,
"Urban Farming," you will find his email address on the site.
Thank you very much for your prayers and assitance.I will keep you posted.
