As the 2011 internship work is coming to a close, the HIT team is beginning to look toward next years agenda. We are currently fine tuning our intern selection process as well as hashing out details on 5 potential HIT trips:

1. Papua New Guinea: 2012's PNG trip would be a continuation of this years engagement in New Ireland. It could potentially include a return trip to Ngawalus as well as expansion into surrounding villages. We are also looking into the possibility of stretching the HIT program into other provinces of PNG.

2. Peru: Working closely with Children of the 7 Rays and our contact Jhaimy Alvarez-Acosta, HIT teams would be participating in community engagement with groups in the Andes mountains while also finding ways to integrate the heritable knowledge into an elementary school curriculum.

3. Nepal: HIT teams would work with Krishna Gurung and the Kevin Rohan Memorial Eco Foundation in their efforts providing under privileged, disabled and poor individuals and families with employment on a organic biodynamic farm.

4. Mongolia: In 2012 HIT groups could be furthering the programs reach to camel herding communities in the Western provinces of Mongolia as well as continuing engagement with the nomadic, agricultural communities of the north.

5. Indonesia: The HIT program is looking into 2012 with the potential to work closely with Alex Rollins and communities in Indonesia to find and develop possible business opportunities for rural communities.

If you or anyone you know is interested in participating in the Heritable Innovation Trust program or has any questions about the program at large please contact Katie Martin by e-mail at kim@m-cam.com
