>I am mentoring a young man from Kenya who is here in Seattle, USA as a
member
>of an international conservation corps until Nov. 15, 1996. His name is
>Peter Imbo, and for the past two years he has been the volunteer leader of a
>project called WISEP, Widow Integrated Support and Exchange Program in his
>home village outside of Nairobi.
>
>WISEP's goals are to teach widows, who culturally cannot work in a
>traditional "job" to learn sustainable agriculture to first be able to raise
>enough food to support their families and then hopefully raise enough extra
>income to actually make some profit. Peter has also been working to
reforest the area and teach about more fuel efficient wood stoves.
>
>I am helping Peter to achieve two things: an internship in Sustainable
>Agriculture beginning in November '96 lasting for 3-6 months and connections
>with American foundations who are interested in funding WISEP's mission.
>
>Please let me know if your program could possible supply him with an
>internship, access to funding or have suggestions for other programs that
would
>be interested. I look forward to your response.
