Marty, 

This is a great idea, I'd love to be included in this "challenge".  We tend to reuse things and throw stuff together to make what we need so it may be right up our alley.  I don't have a digital video recorder but may be able to procure one for taping the building process.

Keep me in the loop, please.

Hi Marty.  My 9 year old daughter Kaylynn is getting her first bees through OCBA and 4-H next month (maybe you've seen her around?).  What you may not know is that my other daughter, Kristin, envisions herself as something of an engineer.  This project would perfectly marry their interests.

I've sent your message to my friend Melody.  She is currently working as a diplomat for the US Government in Malawi, Africa through USAID.  She's worked in a variety of positions over the last twenty years all around the middle east and Africa, including food production and storage for the working poor in Afghanistan, Kenya and Sierra Leone.  She is extremely knowledgeable about the availability of resources and materials in this area of the world and may be able to offer some good suggestions for your project that will benefit the people who need it most.  My initial feeling is that your specialized tool is *not* one that would be available to families in this region, so I've asked her.  I'll let you know when I hear back.

Best Wishes,
Charlotte
