we are so excited to share with you that we have found a 7 acre plot just 10 km south of Kalaw, Southern Shan State to set up our new Whispering Earth Sustainability Training Centre.

The centre will be a space to learn about natural building (earth & bamboo), Permaculture (sustainable design) and will be a space where we hope to build a small kindergarten and school and space to host our teacher trainings! It will also be the space to grow produce and make local products to partner directly with Sprouting Seeds Cafe, Bakery and Eco Shop in Kalaw.

Starting now until April 13th, Global Giving Little by Little Campaign will match all donations up to $50 at 50% and all new recurring donors will be matched at 100%.
