Personal goal number 1


This past week found me making progress toward one of my personal goals.  What started as a personal goal devoting volunteer time a couple years ago, has led to a really cool goal for this year.  Camp Teepee Pole is a youth camp near Sundre Alberta.  Last year a building was donated as the start to an Environmental Awareness Center.  The building will be a place for teaching about plants and animals, water conservation, ecosystems, preservation, and whatever the heck else I can think of…
The building itself is eventually planned to be near free energy, collecting rain water, solar energy, wood heated and so forth.  It is definitely going to be a work in progress for years to come.
I am really excited for this project, the sky is the limit, but…I am feeling a bit overwhelmed.  My goal this year is to have the center with some content for the kids by July camp time. Others with much more skill in the construction field are looking after the building development.  So, this is a bit of an appeal to the I Ho Chuan group to those that have experience with this sort of thing, or those that don’t but just have some good input, or potentially resources that might help me out.
