 |   | Solar Cookers for Haiti |
|   |
|   | ********Collecting funds to cover the costs of Solar Cookers, medical supplies and temporary shelter***************************************
In May of 2009, Rebuild New Mexico Board Members made an exception to the bi-laws to allow for one international project using the technical skills and networking resources to see if we could make a difference in one global community in the world. We selected Cabaret in Haiti. We set the intention to purchase solar cookers and provide them to the community along with training and other permaculture techniques while we were there. As fate would have it, middle school students from the APS District Tonny Hillerman School were forming in an afterschool program under the direction of Teacher Chelsea Henrie. Her mission was to build with her students something that could help an impoverished community. The two intentions met and since September of 2009, 28 students were building solar cookers that can cook food and sterilize water. Teacher Ms. Henrie and her Administrator were due to take the solar cookers along with partners and Board Members of Rebuild New Mexico that the kids built to present to the Mayor of Cabaret during APS Spring Break in March. We still have the network in place and if anyone from the State-Wide community of New Mexico would like to donate funds toward getting solar cookers and other much needed resources to support Haiti, we are able to help. Our board President Eric Doerrer is intimately connected to the Haitian Community and we can get relief funds directly into the places where it is needed, solar cookers, medical supplies, water filtration systems and much more.
