I recommend that you contact Seeds of Change in Santa Fe New
Mexico which has a give away program for foreign students and others of
non-hybrid seed, much of it heritage seed. You can find them on the
web and address your request to Nancy Shapiro who oversees their benefit
program.

Hello,
I am part of a community that studies the music (Shona) of
Zimbabwe. We
recently had a music festival, here in Eugene Oregon, where we
invited
several Zimbabwean teachers. We have a close relationship with them
and
offer our support whenever possible. Cosmas and Beuler would like
to
purchase fruit and vegetable seeds to take back with them. We would
like
their investment to be in seeds that will grow well in their homeland
(just
outside of Harare).
I am recommending they purchase seeds that are non-hybrid's and am
giving
them hand-outs on seed saving. I am not familiar with their soils
and
general growing conditions, so would greatly appreciate any information
you
can send our way. They plan to leave the states in a few
weeks.
Thank you, Jude
