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

"Design Like You Give A Damn"
Stories for a Small Planet by Frontline/World
Shown on the
"Jesus in China" episode

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
