[Cob] Cobbing in Central America and SE Asia

[phil]

I have indeed met Janell and had a medium length, philosophical discussion with her. We didn't go into religion, though she didn't seem any nuttier than I am (humour intended).

As to why she charges so much...I didn't notice that it cost any more for her courses than say for Cob Cottage Co. This is her means of making a living. I hope to one day do the same.

Do whatever it takes to get cob in the eyes of people everywhere. I think Janell does a good job.

In the new year I (with <br>my spouse and young child) plan to travel through Central America for a <br>couple of months. The following year we will be traveling in SE Asia <br>for a few months, then staying in Pune, India for 2 months.  I would <br>really like to do some cob or other alternative building work in both <br>of these places, but a lot of the opportunities I have found on the <br>internet are related to paid courses. I will not have money to pay <br>extra but since I will already be there would be happy to participate <br>in volunteer work. Does anyone have experience and/or contacts <br>regarding volunteer cobbing in Central America, India,  Cambodia, <br>Vietnam or Laos?<br>Thank you very much!<br>G.
