  1. While watching the ARROWS #rescueunit (led by a doctor!) on NHK I once again wondered at the world's short-sightedness when it comes to "human capital." I've thought the #UN could recruit #refugees to train and staff #emergency and #disasterprevention, response and recovery teams, or #SustainableDevelopmentGoals teams, with a promise to become citizens somewhere by mutual agreement at the end of their (properly paid, mind you) term of service. There would be provision for recognizing the degrees and certifications of already skilled displaced people; for example, many doctors and nurses turn up stripped of everything and if very lucky get to go back to school to show they can "learn" what they already know. Others could train to build #solar, #wind or #geothermal; still others could do the refugee equivalent of #WWOOFing. They could, until offered settlement in recognition of their service, carry a UN-issued at-large passport; vetted, trained and equipped teams could be inserted with a minimum of fuss after earthquakes, for example, much as we see with the private company shown here after the Noto earthquake in Japan.

    None of this replaces simply offering pre-existing services, as there would always be some who would not wish or be able to enter such a program.

    The point of having it would be to build up good will in a world that has become so bloody-minded toward out-groups, particularly those who have lost their homes.

    I believe I would (if somewhat younger and not saddled with leukemia) want such an opportunity to prove myself in like case, so I'd love to see such a thing implemented.

  6. 40 Solawis sind auch bei WWOOF* Deutschland Mitglied und öffnen ihre Türen für Personen, die sich für ökologische Landwirtschaft interessieren.
    Die Wwoofer:innen lernen dabei viel über Landwirtschaft und verbinden sich auch mit der Solawi-Gemeinschaft. Im besten Fall springt die Begeisterung für den Anbau von Lebensmitteln über, die Wertschätzung für Lebensmittel steigt und es entstehen langjährige Freundschaften. 

    Wenn dich interessiert, ob deine Solawi als WWOOF-Hof geeignet ist, oder du einfach in das Thema rein schnuppern möchtest, dann sei am 20. Mai dabei! 

    🗓️ Online | ab 19:30 Uhr | keine Anmeldung nötig!

  10. You want to go work on #organicFarms but you don't know where to start.

    You talk to #farmers you know and they suggests #aggregatorWebsites all of them are sending data outside the country

    Were previous generations told by potential employers to talk to random people overseas noone knows to work on a farm?

    Or is something askew here?

  11. What if you were able to spend less time at the office and more on #organicFarms?

    Earlier today we wondered whether starting #PickersUnion's might be a thing. As a group you'd take on #fruit picking jobs on #organicFarms.

    Just like a #workingHoliday.

    Your tribe might go out once every month for 3 days of #picking.

    If this is something that you think you might like, why not setup a #FediIdentity for one in your area?

    Hi Stroom,

    Sounds lovely.

    If you know anyone in #Australia who needs help on their certified #organicFarm, please know that you can tell us at anytime and we will boost. :)
