Earthship Workshop - November 2011

Earthship Biotecture and Long Way Home are teaming up to build a Michael Reynolds-designed, self-sustainable and recycled Earthship home for a single mother of five in San Juan Comalapa. We're bringing together close to 60 people to spend 12 days constructing this house. There is still time to donate!!

 

Long Way Home is pleased to announce that we were selected as Small Charity of the Year by Stay Classy!! Thanks for all your votes. We feel very blessed.

Education, Employment, and Breaking the Cycle of Poverty:

The intergenerational benefits of the opportunities provided by education have broken the cycle of dependency and poverty in many areas of the world, and have a tremendous opportunity to do so in rural Guatemala. Currently a majority of people in San Juan Comalapa subsistence farm for a living, which does not supply them with all of their basic needs.

Long Way Home has dedicated itself to building a school in this town to bring education and job training to the people of this Mayan community. The education will in turn help them find employment.

San Juan Comalapa also has a garbage problem that can cause illness and disease. By using alternative construction techniques with materials that would otherwise be burned or enter the water supply, Long Way Home has created a solution for part of this dilemma. Through education, employment, and health the people of San Juan Comalapa have the power to increase the quality of life for generations to come.




Gracias to all who attended (and volunteered at!) the Rubbish to Runway reFasion Show. With your help we raised over $1,300 for construction!!
