    <summary type="html">I am now in Mexico putting the shout out to invite you to help create special places on Stone Island, near Mazatlan. &#xD;
 &#xD;
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.&#xD;
 &#xD;
The idea is to create an egalitarian grassroots gathering here each year focused on green building and creative living ... http://www.actionheronetwork.net/mazatlan.html&#xD;
 &#xD;
We also have a project south of here in Roblito, Nayarit, where we will be the next two weeks:   http://www.actionheronetwork.net/roblito.html&#xD;
 &#xD;
I posted a bunch of pics today on facebook}: http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1144876255&amp;amp;ref=ts#/profile.php?id=906200533&amp;amp;ref=name&#xD;
 &#xD;
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:&#xD;

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

    <summary type="html">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.&#xD;
&#xD;
 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. &#xD;

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++&#xD;
&#xD;
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: http://stitchugandatogether.blogspot.com&#xD;
&#xD;
http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=102380&amp;amp;id=906200533#/group.php?gid=2408133160&#xD;
&#xD;
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.&#xD;
&#xD;
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.&#xD;
&#xD;
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: http://video.google.ca/videoplay?docid=7741275027359055423&#xD;
&#xD;
Performers Without Borders has great videos showing their work... and this is the sort of thing we could do:&#xD;
&#xD;
http://www.performerswithoutborders.org.uk/video.html&#xD;
&#xD;
and Lucent Dossier in LA(many you'd know) have also done this sort of playful work:&#xD;
&#xD;

&#xD;
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!&#xD;
