E-mail: katja. vadnal@bf. uni-lj. si and katarina. kosmelj@bf. uni-lj. si Abstract. The parents of mentally disabled people were interviewed with regard to their willingness to include their offspring in the everyday life and the activities on farms, which would provide them with social services (employment, care, nursing) in the form of supplementary on-farm activities. Among 361 interviewed parents, 54 % expressed willingness to participate in the programme. In order to assess the association between ‘willingness’ and the relevant characteristics of the parents and their mentally disabled offspring, the logistic regression models were app

The Homeless Garden Project • Fall 2008 Down on the FarmUniqueness & Variety "Diversity provides both the resistance to monocultures and the creative alternative. Our strength is our uniqueness and variety, a strength that can be eroded only when we give up on it ourselves. " — Vandana Shiva Diversity in nature appears to be a cornerstone of sustainability. And sustainable agriculture, according to ATTRA, the National Sustainable Agriculture Information Service, “follows the principles of nature to develop systems for raising crops and livestock that are, like nature, self-sustaining. ” Our farm directors observe and teach this principle daily: Greater diversity leads to less pest problems. (Imagine 2 acres of a single crop that a pest loves and 2 acres of diverse crops that includes habitat for beneficial insects. ) The nutrient levels of the soil can be more easily maintained because different crops give and take differently. With a diverse farm plan, if you lose a crop, you don’t

June 2008 Issue 78 Cultivate NSW The year so far . . . . More site visits! The first half of the year for Cultivate NSW has flown by, thanks to various work happening in, around and about the Telopea Centre! 1. In the Centre, the classes ‘Hort Techniques for Therapy’ delivered by Ruth in the first semester have been well-received by a diverse group of enthusiastic students. (Ruth can you add something here???) In addition to the teaching program, there has been consistent administrative work and clerical maintenance for the Society taken care of by Marie and Jill. 2. Around the Centre, there has been substantive maintenance work and renewal. More detail overleaf from Marie! The modifications and new beginnings are most welcome. 3. About the Centre and the work of the Society, there have been three presentations: firstly to the National Disability Services (NDS) Statewide conference in February; secondly a ‘Stay on your Feet’ Falls Prevention seminar ran by the Area Health Se

“Work occupies so much of our life.
It’s not just that we spend vast amounts of our waking hours at work,
but it is often through our vocational commitments that we engage the world.
Our aspirations, our dreams,
and even our understanding of who we are become shaped by the work we do in the world.

From the Director “Work occupies so much of our life. It’s not just that we spend vast amounts of our waking hours at work, but it is often through our vocational commitments that we engage the world. Our aspirations, our dreams, and even our understanding of who we are become shaped by the work we do in the world. ” —From Leading from Within, Poetry that Sustains the Courage to Lead When Paul Lee first conceived of the Homeless Garden Project, his goal was to provide a place of beauty and safety for people who are homeless. As Lynne Basehore Cooper nurtured Paul’s vision into a reality, she asked the men and women who came from the shelter to the Project what direction they wanted to take the Garden. The resounding answer was “We need a job. ” In the 2007 Santa Cruz County Homeless Census and Survey, the primary reason given for being homeless was “lost job or unemployment. ” This is the most immediate and obvious function of work-to provide for our basic needs.
