I was really
lucky to meet Maggie Doyne and her daughter Anjali in
September 2012 at Do Lectures
in Hopland, CA at a beautiful place called Campovida.
Maggie
is a very inspiring person who started an organization called BlinkNow. It is called Blink Now because she believes
that in the blink of an eye we can all make a difference in the world. She did
exactly this a few years ago and started Kopila Valley children’s home and school.
It is amazing what she is doing.
When we were
at the Do Lectures we dreamed a little about bees at Kopila. At the time it
seemed simply like a dream. Well, now it isn't a dream. This summer we will help Kopila start a bee program and I will be going with a good friend who is an amazing guitar player so she will be helping with the arts program.
Here is the amazing note Maggie wrote:
“Orren, I'd like to offer you one of our Summer
Sustainability Fellowships. After hearing your Do Lecture I haven't been
able to get bees off the brain :) We could really use your expertise in setting
up some hives at Kopila. I'd also like you to work with the Kopila kids
on educating them about beekeeping, chickens and work along their side to set
up a coop on our new campus.”
Now the research begins. If you have any knowledge about beekeeping in Nepal or starting a program for kids please feel free to email me - happyhoneybeesATgmailDOTcom also if you'd care to help support this project that would be great. Here is what I have found so far : Bees for Development.
Having a tollfree is admittedly a powerful marketing tool as existing as well as prospective customers will be motivated to call more often as they will not be required to pay the phone call charges.
ReplyDeleteThe coop is huge and very, very heavy. We're not worried about it blowing away. The roof is drilled through plastic onto

worried about hurricanes. Fingers crossed!
Hi! I had a quick question about your blog and was hoping you could email me back when you get the chance, thanks - Emily
