There is accomodation and bar about 4Km from the site. We are in the process of sorting out vehicles at the moment. It appears that the rain only breaks from June-July 31st. We just had a downpour on the 1st August that washed out a road so I am being very careful how we plan this. I am thinking that the first volunteers will be neede April 2010. Please bear with us.

What would be expected of the volunteers and what would the arrangements be for place to stay, food travel etc, or is there no help with this.

I was tied up in Nigeria on a very complicated project. I am now back in South Africa. The site appears to be getting very busy now so I shall be sure to keep you posted every few days. We have found it very slow going in Swaziland, the weather has really compounded the problem with our Swazi manager being rained in for Jan and Feb. We are therefore going to concentrate on getting the basic road and building materials completed during this dry period. The Solar and water systems are going to be assembled in the US and shipped to Durban later this year. Hi people,

The idea is that the Earthship Crew will arrive and then from a prepared site construct the Earthship in a very short time scale. This will also be an ideal film opportunity as a we will be building a functioning Earthship from a greenfield site in just 28 days.
