Dear Supporters of all kinds,

I am very grateful for all your gifts, your donations, and words of encouragement. I feel empowered by your acts of heart. Thank you!

There are many preparation steps for each Earthship Island project participant. There is almost nothing there, the Kenawa Island is very tiny with few very simple huts and lot of open space. You can check it out here:

The Earthship Academy requirements for this project include regular camping gear like tents and sleeping pads. Along with our strong will to make it happen, we need to buy and bring our own tools - rubber gloves, protective glasses, pencils and markers, grout sponges, a hammer, a tool apron, and even a pool trowel. Here is my ready-to-go set:

The cost of the academy session alone is $2000, plus airplane and bus tickets (over $1000) and some extra money for breakfasts and evening meals. Lunches and dinners are provided, as well as a lot of camping grounds :-) Even though I had many reasons for creating this donation/support campaign, the presented costs were definitely on that list. Let me say it out loud again. THANK YOU!

The simple outline of rules for the project has one very important point: Everything needs to be eco-friendly, reef-safe, and recyclable. This project is about proving that new human settlements can and should be built with the least impact possible on natural surroundings. With your help, I will join forces with almost 60 people in less than two weeks to make it real! In just one month, we are about to build one Earthship. There are more to come in the future. Your help and support today shape that future by your acts of heart. Thank you!

To be continued…

First steps toward the unknown...
