[Stoves] [biochar-stoves] Wiggio Group Invitation from art donnelly

Sat Nov 7 22:16:15 CST 2015

Thank you for accepting me into this group, Art!

One thing that I would like to mention to all is that I am now also 
involved with a group or youth who have started an International 
organization called *CSAYN*, the *Climate Smart Agriculture Youth Network*.

I am the Promotions Manager for CSAYN, which is registered inYaoundé, 
Cameroon (Africa), and which is a member organization and on the 
Steering Committeeof the United Nations Global Alliance for Climate 
Smart Agriculture.

  As the Promotions Manager for this group, which is about a year old 
now, one of the things I have been doing is attempting to identify 
potential "leaders" who may have an interest in starting new "Chapters" 
of the CSAYN in various countries around the world.
  (Our goal is to eventually have a chapter in every country, of course.)

  Right now we do have Chapters of the CSAYN in more than 30 countries, 
mostly in Africa, however I would be interested in hearing from anyone 
who may have an interest in hwlping to organize / start up (or join) a 
local CSAYN Chapter in /their own/ country [and/or a country where they 
spend a lot of time].
   In particular, we have an interest in the following regional groups 
(in the following countries):

 >> Togo,Cameroon, DRC, Nigeria and Canada (our five 'pilot' countries) 
plus Australia, the Philippines, PNG and China.
(note: We would also be interested in creating Chapters in Latin America 
[Central, South America and the Caribbean] as well, since there are very 
few people in that part of the world who seem to be aware** of the 
concept of /Climate Smart/ Agriculture.)

Please be aware that we do have a Chapter of CSAYN in the USA 
(coordinated through Ohio State University) and also have the beginnings 
of one here in Canada and in Honduras, India, Indonesia, Mexico, and the 
Netherlands (among others /outside/ of Africa).

** Given that the primary mandate of CSAYN is "awareness creation" 
(about CSA), we have several programs starting up right now, including 
coordination of *Education and Training programmes* like:

  *   some proposed *SDG* Education & Training courses*,
  *   a series of *Farmer-to-Farmer field Schools* (teaching people
    about Climate Smart Agricutlure),

  and

  *   the establishment of local *"Post-2015 clubs" (in schools**)*,
    designed to provide provides "mentoring support" and allow for
    coordination of various /offline conversations/, /consultations/ and
    /focus group discussions/ to take place, especially for the purpose
    of educating children and youth from some of the most marginalized
    communities -- including Indigenous / Aboriginal / First Nations
    communities -- about the SDGs and Climate Smart Ag and Food
    production techniques, technologies and local 'business models' that
    may be applicable within their own communities.

*note: SDG == the 17 *Sustainable Development Goals* (SDGs) of the 
United Nations.
