How to Build Peace on Earthbench

Website

http://www.earthbench.org

Overview of Workshop

To empower youth and community members to clean up the environment, repurpose their trash into a building material (bottle bricks), learn natural building techniques, and then create a communal gathering area— a peace on earthbench—where they can share music, stories, and life.

The Specifics: How will the $1,000 help you host your workshop?

The $1000 will help provide much needed funding to help make this project a reality. This money will go towards covering all the material costs of building an earthbench as well as a stipend for all the time it will take for me to lead the project. These materials costs include wood framing for an earthbench roof and for the construction materials such as sand and gravel and the transportation costs to transport these materials. It will also provide a source of compensation for the time I will invest into this earthbench project.
