Hi all,

My sincere apologies if this request is not within the purview of this listserv.

One of Groundswell’s students this year, Ekrem Duygu, is in urgent need of housing, available as soon as possible. Ekrem has been staying with a friend as he visits the US for Groundswell’s Sustainable Farming Certificate Program from his home country of Turkey. Unfortunately, an issue has arisen and he needs a new place to stay. He’s looking to rent an apartment or room (or possibly engage in a primitive living situation) as soon as possible. If it’s available long-term, he may want to stay possibly until November. If not renting, Ekrem is also willing to work in exchange for a place to stay, and is especially interested in permaculture and green building.

If you have a room or apartment in your house that’s available for a short- or long-term stay, please contact Ekrem to work out the arrangements at ekremd.

Thank you for your compassion and generosity- it’s all part of the work that we do,

Rachel
