My Earthship Education Funds
Donation protected
Hello everyone, my name is Sebasto Oro. Knowing my language limitations, I asked my American friends to edit this story, so you could have clear idea why I am here asking for your help...
"I am about to share with you how I got to “recycle” my life. Upon reflecting on many aspects of life, I began to see how the concept of recycling is a coherent strategy found in nature. I grew up in Silesia, the most industrial region of Poland, and during an era of big changes.
Throughout my life I have had a great interest in the impact of the growing human population on nature. A few years ago, I learned about ‘Earthships’; one of the most versatile, economical and eco-friendly designs for off-grid dwellings. I fell in love with them. Recently, I applied to the Earthship Academy and got accepted. I am now looking for creative and sustainable ways to fund my education. I came to the conclusion that I must recycle my life to do so.
Being an immigrant, I have been exposed to many faces of isolation. I have had a wide gamut of life experiences, great and traumatic, yet all the while being an artistic soul and Jack of many trades. The question that I bring to myself is how do I re-cycle and circulate my life experiences to support my learning about Earthships, which like my life and creative inspiration, are also made
of recyclable materials?
I would like to offer for sale, prints of my photographs and other art media and create a ‘go fund me’ donation website. I hope that with your generosity I can fulfill my calling, and complete the Earthship Academy. Upon graduation, I would like to build Earthships in under-served communities and use the space to hold workshops for people to learn how to recycle their pasts to build fulfilling lives."
So what is happening now? I am almost done with www.recycleyourlife.org website. Even though I am deep in debt due to past issues with health insurance, I refuse to stop thinking about bright future! I have enrolled in Earthship Biotecture Academy new project in Indonesia . It will be my first step in Earthship education and great opportunity to work with about 50 people to show to the World that human settlement doesn't have to badly interact with environment. With blood, sweat and tears we will build the first earthship structure on the island over a period of one month.
This education represents to me great opportunity to change - recycle - my life, to work in the field I love and believe, sharing at grassroots level with great concepts for development benefiting local communities.
Will you contribute to this scholarship to pay my tuition for Earthship Biotecture Academy and sustain payments of my bills while I will be away?
Please consider donating before my trip begins on November 11 or while I will work for this great cause. I will personally thank each contributor for your generosity and provide follow up details of the story. Thank you<3
