SEED International Community Engagement:
SEED is very excited to announce the early stage development of SEED International Community Engagement. In April Ben will travel to China, Tibet, Nepal, Bangladesh, and India visiting womens and community grass roots groups identifying opportunities for international volunteers to visit and stay with the group sharing skills and experience with asset based community development principles.
SEED will work with the volunteer to identify strengths and find the ideal opportunity and placement. If you are interested in exploring international community engagement opportunities in a particular region or sector, please contact bwalta@hotmail.com

Summer markets:
We had a delightful day at St Andrew’s market on Saturday the 6th of Nov. On the weekend of the 26-29th of November SEED had a very washed out stall at Shine On festival. Thanks to the crew for the free market site!! Rainbow Serpent Festival late Jan was a cracker, and since then SEED has been at Camberwell and Coburg Markets (which weren’t the best), and in early March we went up to Daylesford for a lovely market by the old train station. Hopefully we can manage another day at Daylesford and Castlemaine before April!
