Re: A Couple New Resources
Yeah! Good stuff! Jen McGeehan (Author of 'My Year in a Yurt') teamed up with us and Habitat for Humanity to start 'The Yurt Project' a couple years ago. We broke some major ground, she is a dedicated yurt champion! The aim was to get yurts into the hands of an organization that did so much great work for low income households everywhere. Unfortunately there was some major political fallout over one of the speakers invited to one of the fundraisers and everything went on hold on their end. But Jen hasn't give up and niether have we.
We have begun reviving the movement with a couple of other groups that have been doing incredible work in the areas of 'Tiny Homes' and the changed legislature needed to allow that lifestyle on a broad scale. I know that she would appreciate any support and/or input/ideas as we take these challenges on. Jen is donating a portion of sales from her book toward this project and we and will donate several thousand as well. We will update as things progress.
Aloha!
Melissa
