PRESERVE tends to work in tandem with the UN and corporations in order to maintain its funding. While they provide disaster relief, they're not going to be able to support anything like self-defense classes (especially while the UN is particularly touchy about uprisings and anti-UN sentiment). That's not to say that this is outside of the realm of possibility! On the contrary, there's obviously a definite need for this, but Steve will need to look for other outlets to get it done. It'll be obvious that the NA PRESERVE volunteers have their hands tied; they might want to do a project with Steve, but they can't risk losing the financial support they do have around the world to keep helping in the ways they do help.
We will add that a number of Displaced (Clarke, Stephen, Damian, to name a few, but there are more as well) are interested in supporting a venture like this. We suggest that you have Steve propose it to the group to get it started, as well as potentially set up a website to disseminate information.
