Hey everyone... sorry to be out of touch through tribe.net ...I've been using facebook. Everyone home uses it, but I greatly respect the talented and fun bunch that you are on tribe.net ...so here I am again... rounding up crew.
I just spent the afternoon spamming applicable tribes with the below post... so please email me if you are keen to take part. We have a great group planning to be in Roblito this January... and in Uganda this April.... so I'm stoked.

Last April, I toured Uganda teaching people how to sew hammocks, and donated four sewing machines to continue the project... which is called Stitch Uganda Together: stitchugandatogether.blogspot.com

This April and May I plan to be back in Uganda, and so I'm gathering a crew to tour teaching circus skills, green building and gardening.
I'm good with a hoop and can walk a slackline. I love building with bamboo. We'll create the Temple of Lost and Found on the slopes of Mt. Elgon. Think of it as the creative-comfort vibe of a Burning Man camp, crossed with the nature and good food of a rainbow gathering, and lots of kids--very sweet kids, who need lots of love, because their folks died in landslides. This is in connection with a village of 2000 people called Bunabumali, in Uganda, on the border of Kenya.
With help from Pacific Domes and Jeff Taylor, I got a 60ft dome from the playa to Mississippi after Katrina to hooked up with a Rainbow kitchen, and we rocked it for nine months. We'll do this grassroots style in Uganda and Mexico too: video.google.ca/videoplay
Performers Without Borders has great videos showing their work... and this is the sort of thing we could do:
www.performerswithoutborders.org.uk/video.html
and Lucent Dossier in LA(many you'd know) have also done this sort of playful work:

Mid-January to mid-february 2009, Action Heroes will be in Roblito and Mazatlan, Mexico for family camp... and the Mazatlan Awareness Festival. You are welcome to join us!

I am now in Mexico putting the shout out to invite you to help create special places on Stone Island, near Mazatlan.
Locals are seeking people to help construct structures and gardens for a school (so that hotels are not built in their place) , and finish a building they have started. They will teach cob workshops to get us going. The place where we are staying and fixing up is amazing... I will add photos to show you. We plan to paint and mosaic the place.
The idea is to create an egalitarian grassroots gathering here each year focused on green building and creative living ... www.actionheronetwork.net/mazatlan.html
We also have a project south of here in Roblito, Nayarit, where we will be the next two weeks: www.actionheronetwork.net/roblito.html
I posted a bunch of pics today on facebook}: www.facebook.com/profile.php
Also... I am seeking crew to head to Uganda in May... Stitch Uganda Together is a project to make hammocks for orphans or anyone in need in Uganda and bring comfort to people suffering from homelessness and sickness. A five minute day-in-the-life of Stitch Uganda can be viewed on Youtube:

I greatly respect you all, and send you this message now, as I look forward to being with you again.
