We also thank the many kind people who have contributed by giving us permission to use materials they have developed.
Special thanks are extended to the members of the Farallones community for their continued support, endurance, and patience during the evolution of this project.
Finally, perhaps our most important acknowledgment should go to the Peace Corps trainees who have come to learn and, in turn, to teach. It is with them that we have shared our dreams and values. We hope that the tools and techniques they have chosen will serve the world kindly and well.
