Water

As I embark on conceptualizing a brand for a biotech company who’s focus is on purifying water, the nagging feeling that I ‘NEEDED’ to publish my blog post on water was becoming more prominent.

I traveled to Uttar Pradesh with Karin Heschl & Bruce Johnson, Homa Therapy Volunteers, to conduct a farmers training course on Homa Organic Farming. As is typical on our journey into the village we toured several farms and assed the needs of the farmers who are interested in converting to Homa Farming

This trip was especially significant, in that it was the first time I was exposed to the effects of highly toxic water on humans.

Homa Therapy is a unique method in that it offers an inexpensive potential solution to the water problem affecting millions of villagers, throughout India. Bruce, Karin and I went as guests of IFFCO (a national farmers's organization) and toured two village blocks, both of which have significantly different water crises.

The Desert of Rajasthan

I was given the opportunity to travel with a young man from Venezuela, Juan Rodrigues, whom himself had volunteered in several countries and had over 12 years experience, with Homa Therapy, to travel to the desert of Rajasthan. I packed a bag, thinking I was going for only two weeks, but instead remained for almost 3 months. We traveled through 7 or 8 small villages near the border of Pakistan, where we experienced the most horrendous levels of skin disease I have yet to witness.
