This is Charles Nuckolls, coordinator of the Utah Valley Commons (www.utahvalleycommons.com), and, at the moment, advisor to a study abroad program in the Amazonian jungle of eastern Ecuador. The study abroad program is directed by an Arizona State professor, who owns 1200 acres on the shores of the Napo River -- a beautiful area of protected rainforest with abundant natural resources. Every summer around 50 students from around the United States join the program for eight weeks of language study and research. Todd, the director, is thinking of developing a sustainability program, possibily with a focus on ecovillage development. To me, as an anthropologist, it represents an exciting possibility, and I am posting to the list to solicit advice. We seek a Spanish-speaking individual with sustainability training, who would be willing to act as a consultant (or perhaps more) over the course of several months or years. Compensation is negotiatable, but would, eventually, be tied to student fees and participation. There is abundant land for horticulture and/or organic farming; abundant water resources (the site is right on the fast-flowing Napo River, a tributary of the Amazon); and abundant solar possibililties. The already established nature of the study abroad program, and its affiliation with Arizona State University, make us think the sustainbility initiatie would be a great success. Anyway, please do let me know if you, or someon you know, might be interested. I am in eastern Ecuador now, and return to Utah next week. Please use this email address for contact. Thanks very much!
