The H.E.L.P. has made some wonderful mass media coverage. Please take the time to read the article and watch the video BUT also be aware that the CNN reporting journalist made a very major error in announcing that the project was ‘for profit’. This is absolutely and vehemently false. The project is all detailed in our Bank section and you can also access an excel spreadsheet that shows the breakdown. We will also soon be publishing a further breakdown of all the spends in Haiti. Including how much the Haitians themselves were …

Michael and his team, including Luke, will shortly be heading to Haiti to undergo the next stage of what is now being called the  Haiti Eco Living Project or H.E.L.P.
There is hope of acquiring some land to build Earthships that will be able to house upto 32 people with facilities. And the idea is to then start a chain which will lead to the development of more and more of these structures to offer a solution to all of Haiti.
To watch a short video detailing the basics of the plan …

For those who remember, our first volunteer, Luke Nichols, flew out to Haiti in Early October to become an Intern at Taos, New Mexico, where Michael Reynolds Earthship  Biotecture community is based.

The great news is not only did they succeed in their goal, but they were enjoying themselves so much they climbed a total of 8850 metres !!! This meant several of the participants climbed 80-100 climbs in total. One of the participants climbed a vertical …

Michael Reynolds and his team of ‘Garbage Warriors’ take on Haiti for four days with phenomenal success.

With the Help of Forty Haitians living in tents, aged four to forty, Michael and his team taught them how to build an Earthquake and Hurricane resistant building, based on Earthship Biotecture.

Following the devastating Earthquake that hit Haiti four people got together to form a group called ‘Sustainable Support’ with the intention of creating a network to provide sustainable support directly: community to community.

Russell Davison, Damon Hague, G-Man and Amit Zala (pictured) were spurred into action with a calling to engage with something tangible, transparent and sustainable and had all individually been looking for something worthwhile to work with, not just to donate to.
