The projects described on these pages came about as a result of chance meetings, new friendships, and people who take pleasure in sharing knowledge, ideas and expertise.
Many friends, partners and supporters are involved with these projects directly and indirectly, including:
Barbara Knowles, who wrote this website and funds some of the projects
Laci Demeter and his team of students from Sapientia University. Laci shares his knowledge and love of this region freely, and inspired Barbara to start working here.
Rodics Gergely, Gergo, Robi, Kata and Jamin - the Pagan Snow Cap Association team - who do fantastic work to increase local incomes while protecting the things that make the region special.
Fundatia Adept who manage the funding for Barbara's projects.
Rick Spurway who is recording the traditions of Transylvanian villages through film.
Kálnoky Tibor whose wonderful guesthouse was the birthplace of the collaborations described here. Willy Schuster, organic farmer, cheese producer and strong supporter of peasant farmers, who is writing the organic leaflets. And many of Barbara's friends and family who have given practical and finacial support, including John, Elfi, Frank and Katie Knowles, Sarah Evans, Colin Stewart, Joan Cobbett, Magda Wimmer, Alice Young, Bill and Gill Wade. © Barbara Knowles 2009 |
