[Vancouver BC 06-12-10] It has been a while since there have been any updates here at encounter earth online. I (Paul) have been busy contracting with Opportunity International, a microfinance organization. I have been based in downtown Vancouver making trips back to Canmore for short stays with my family. But that is soon to change!

At the end of June 2010 Paul, Corey, and family will be making our transition to Vancouver Island to continue our journey of living out social justice and sustainability. We will be living just down the road from our business partners, Bernie and Marlene. As we get our bearings this summer and get connected with our community of friends we want to walk into the next chapter for encounter earth.

There have been contacts already made into Colombia and Peru regarding local entrepreneurs who are very interested in collaborating with encounter earth in direct trade. These next months will be about encounter earth ownership team processing the retooling and the hopeful emergence of an online store with accessories, jewelry, art and some simple clothing pieces available. So please bookmark the encounter earth page and keep surfing over here for updates.
