Frontline/World Profile Airs Tonight
& Design Opportunities

Dear all,

It is a busy end to the month. Some quick news and our latest volunteer and job opportunities.

Frontline/World Profiles Design Fellow Purnima McCutcheon
This month the work of Architecture for Humanity design fellow Purnima McCutcheon will be profiled in the award-winning documentary series, Frontline/World on PBS. This story profiles her work in supporting post-tsunami reconstruction in Tamil Nadu, India. Congratulations, Purnima!

Check your local listings for more details. For those of you who are not in the United States, the story will also be posted to Frontline/World's website in the next few days.

Sportables Competition

Architecture for Humanity is teaming with Google SketchUp to host "Sportables," a one-week design sprint. Nothing connects kids like the power of play. Yet, too often kids cannot afford necessary equipment and do not have access to competitive facilities. How can we build a unit that turns would-be play spaces around the world into instant stadiums--equipment and all? Help us design a demountable play space and equipment library. Designs will be showcased on the Open Architecture Network and on Google SketchUp's 3D Warehouse. The winning team will receive $1,000 design stipend to further develop their concept.

Enter the Sportables Design Competition
Deadline: June 30, 2008
