> Hi Everyone,
>
>   My girlfriend and I are heading down to Haiti on the 12th of August to
> help design a School and a relocated village near the town of Camp Perrin.
>
>   We have a bunch of ideas about what we want to accomplish down there but
> would love it if any of you folk have any suggestions for us.
>
>    The project is being headed up by a friend of mine who is an
> eco-architect.  The intention is to make a school that would break students
> and teachers out of the passive learning model of education and help to
> facilitate active, whole system thinking.
>
>   We will have assistance from O.R.E, a local NGO www.oreworld.org who are
> doing fabulous work in the region.
>
>   Any ideas would be appreciated but here's a few categories:
>
> 1) Community design and school design
> 2) Outstanding and/or innovative curricula involving sustainability, whole
> systems thinking, active participation, physical movement etc.
> 3) Special considerations for the tropics
> 4) organic vegetable farming in the tropics
> 5) organic tree crops and agroforestry for the tropics
> 6) Getting active participation from the locals
> 7) Cool stuff that works!
>
> Thanks in advance for your help
