I have become involved helping develop an eco-village in Kathmandu, founded and managed by a lovely, humble Nepalese, Krishna Gurung. Here is a short video on his work, per an international award for which he was the runner-up.
I had been listening for such work to get involved with and have since been helping Krishna in a few ways ~
- we got him a booth at the DC Greenfest.
- we've designed and printed the banner, brochure and display for the booth. Here's the brochure (click on the images to enlarge):
By the way, if you're in town this weekend (Oct. 10/11), pls check out the DC Green Festival........ it's a 'party w/ a purpose!' I'm also exhibiting, and there are many, many interesting exhibits and speakers exploring the full spectrum of greening society.
We're also helping Krishna develop more appropriate and durable natural building methods. I'm going next September to begin implementing these methods........... pls contact me (bill@heliconworks.com) if you're interested in joining this effort.
And Krishna is always looking for volunteers to come and work at one of the villages, also as teachers and gardeners. He is building the third one now, and wants to continue providing small sustainable communities to serve those w/ leprosy, other disabilities or who are otherwise underprivileged.
Peace,
Bill
