FirefighterEducation, PDC StudentJavan, thanks for all your wonderful insight and feedback on the last assignment and throughout the course. As much as I am sorry for this PDC to be coming to a close, this is just the very beginning of my project and I am looking forward to having more free time to go through things at my own pace and check out some of your stuff as well!

Student - Tanzania, AfricaEducation, General, PDC StudentThank you sooo much Javan!It’s been a really lovely time well spent. I was very skeptical at first of the whole course idea. But i have gained soooo much knowledge i think this is just the tip of the iceberg for me. Theres soooo much more to learn and experience.This is really a gift of life for me. I thank you and everyone involved and the nice environment you and Neil provided in our group. This is a kind of course where grades dont really matter. Its the knowledge you get and do something with it. Thank you so much guys, a big thumbs up from me and from my hubby who made this possible.You never know maybe will cross each other someday in Swahili theres a saying that says this – milima haikutani which means mountains don’t meet but humans do.
Tine Rossing
Climate Specialist - Salt Spring Island, BC, Canada - https://www.weadapt.org/member/rossingEducation, General, PDC StudentJust a quick note to let you know that I am deeply grateful for your comments. I can’t tell you how much I enjoy this course. Everything that I have been working on for the past 20+ years are coming together, being connected by this new precious knowledge.
I have felt very disenchanted with work for quite a while – “Compassion fatigue” sums it up quite nicely. I sorely needed such new positive inspiration,
Thank you – for your time and inspiration.
Marianne Cicala
Advance Design for Climate Resilience Student - Virginia, USAEducation, General, PDC StudentI can’t begin to tell you how timely this work is; my site is a new area for me on every possible level. Mudslides, forest fires, steep terrain, lower growing zone, breath taking views and most people in the area are part timers which leaves almost 10 months without people noise. There is so much to learn and figure out with this little slice and this course is beyond helpful. You cannot imagine how grateful I am – where we are moving is foreign to me and as a farmer, having food outside of my door is paramount
Thank you – it is making a world of difference to me.
