Michael and his team work with the Haitians to build an Earthship

Well thing over in Haiti still seem, by all accounts, to be rather chaotic. Michael and his team went out for a four day reconnaisance in late June, as you can see from our earlier report. And we’re pleased to report back that not only was the mission a resounding success, it was much more ! With the help of forty Haitians, aged four to forty, they built a whole building, which is based on Earthship Biotecture, and hurricane and earthquake resistant. Not only that, all the materials used were located within one mile of the build site.

As you can see from the the report, Michael and his team intend to return in October. We intend to raise as much funds as possible between then and now and pass them over the Michael and his team to help fund the trip.

To date we have raised £1196. Many thanks to those who have helped contribute so far. We are in the midst of planning, or helping to plan, a few events leading up to October and are putting the call out there as always for anyone who can get involved and organise some fundraisers.

We will be in touch with Michael as soon as possible, and will keep you all updated with the progress.
