***This is a message from a member of Friends of Students for 60,000*** Hi Friends, Sorry I was not able to attend the last meeting but I had inadvertently scheduled a tip to see an earthbag structure in Vermont and meet our potential trainer for Nicaragua for this this type of construction. I have entered Mike's observations of the Comedor Escolar project in a table to make the data easier to analyze and posted it on the Transtec blog. Following is the link, http://blog.transteca.org/30931893 (copy the link into your browser) Please forward any ideas or comments you may have. Our goal is to make this project 100% self sustainable as was originally intended.I will assemble any and all ideas contributed as well as my own to offer a plan for this project. I will issue a draft plan for discussion and editing. We can use this plan to write for grants and secure funds if required. If there is demand we can have a group conference call to brainstorm, that way we can include friends in all states. Sometimes a verbal discussion better facilitates group work. Gracias Amigos, George P.S. I went by the garden in Huntington Station and it looks fantastic. It is really thriving. Congrats to all involved. *** You can unsubscribe from this list by sending an email to fsf60k-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the subject field.
