Check this out! Fascinating interview with TED prize winner. Using

architecture, addresses the Kashmir Earthquake problem of no tents.

Ironically, he says the majority of the plastic used for making tents

is manufactured in Pakistan. One reason for the extreme shortage of

available tents at that time was owing to the multitude of disaster

occurring around the same time, including the Tsunami and Hurricane

Katrina.

This is quite mind-expanding. They also have an international network.

Check it out. Do you have connections? How can we support one another?

They have also built a mobile health clinic to combat HIV/AIDS in

Sub-Saharan Africa. We have common interests.
