Non-profit seeks faculty help with construction of sustainable schools in Guatemala

The UO Study Abroad program is inviting faculty members to an event on Wednesday (April 3) to meet a representative of the Long Way Home, a non-profit that uses sustainable design and appropriate materials to build self-sufficient schools in Guatemala.

Long Way Home offers internship opportunities for UO students and is looking for faculty collaboration related to alternative construction and appropriate technology. The group is also seeking help in estimating the ecological impact of using waste materials in productive construction.
