Hi SHC members,<\/p>\n
I am planning to make trip to UK, Europe not only to sight see , but also on a Eco-village discovery tour. Such Eco-villages are under GEN ( Global EcoVillage Network) and are endorsed by United Nations. They have all- year volunteer programmes and also conduct courses on various topics on Eco-village Matters that are also endorsed by UN. Overall, i would say, the intention is to travel not to just the towns but also the countryside, and learn from people of different cultures, on the Main issue of living and doing something to care for the environment that is around us. Singapore, in many ways is quite pro-active in being ECO- friendly , from the ways we recycle water, to be self sufficient and the concept of making a greener Singapore with rooftop gardens, etc. A very few like Ivy Singh-Lim has even started Singapore’s most well-known back-to-nature countryside living and have expanded into the farming business “Bolloywood veggies”.<\/p>\n
Right now, for me it is just to travel and visit other countries that i have not been to, while i am still strong and healthy. There are many such Eco-villages all round Europe, England, Italy, Spain , that have all-year round volunteer programmes,, that you will probably take a life time to visit. Right now,i t is almost the end of summer so it is the right time to visit Europe and then maybe Australia and New Zealand after Dec. Estimated cost, will be the air tickets, train tickets, and basic meals cost, and hoping to save as much on hotesl by getting free lodging volunteering in the Eco-villages. I think it is better than staying at some expensive hotel for a night, this way you can meet friends and stay longer with them. You get to see and experienced a lot more and you can learn a lot more, of the food, culture , ideas and at the same time leaving a healthy life in the countryside. I believe the Eco-village concept should start with our own body first. The first village is our body ( it holds our mind and soul ) that we have to keep healthy to serve us for the many years down the road. So if anyone of you, is free, after retiring and feel you are healthy and strong enough to take on such travel, do consider, to join me. You are invited to join me at any stage and at any place while i am on the move in Europe,as i may be there for 3 months or more.<\/p>\n
Cheers, maybe i will learn how to make heathlier Sheppard’s Bread by then.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
