Shikha Ecovillage
I live at Shikha Ecovillage in rural Odisha (a state in eastern India). The 5-acre campus has fruit orchards, vegetable gardens, farm animals, and a special school with currently 70 deaf children. Originally from Germany, I am a sign language linguist and developer of "Serious Games" (games for learning, collaboration, awareness, etc). I am also a director at the social enterprise publisher Ishara Press in the UK.
Primary interests: alternative education; soil science; serious games; waste management; carbon sequestration
