Eduplaytional Oasis
The 3 outcomes of Eduplaytional Oasis are
1. Evolve a party dome into a school. Bring abundance where it is most needed, and will be most meaningful.
2. Consciously inspire others to reflect on how they can make their on playa activities meaningful off the playa, by being and sharing their most unique gifts.
3. HAVE FUN!
I would like to create an Eduplaytional Oasis, that evolves into a SCHOOL!
The Eduplaytional Oasis is an inspirational 32ft dome (donated by Ed Falk,) that will go to Ghana, Africa after the burn to become a SCHOOL! The first building in the Eduplaytional Volunteer Village of YARO (Youth Action on Reproductive Order. www.yaroghana.com) a small non religious, non profit NGO run entirely by local volunteers who are empowering their communities to rise above the cycle of poverty through education.
The EO will ask burners. "What can you do, with what you have learned at Burning Man, that you can use to make a meaningful difference in the world?" and will include an inspirational storybook, labyrinthe and an opportunity to contribute to the Eduplaytional Idea Book.
I am not a camp, I don't have a team, a co lead or a committee. I am one woman devotedly driving this whole project, and it can only happen with your help! I humbly bow to all those that have contributed funds, assistance, and energy so far. This project has amazing energy Thank you! Come be part of this amazing project! Make your playa contribution bigger than just Burning Man!
Eduplaytional Oasis needs the following committed volunteers on playa!
Early Arrival- Help unpack the container that the dome is currently in. Saturday Noon. (I don't currently have EA passes, seeking a few hours of help from people that know they will be up there already. I have to unpack a 26 foot container to get to the dome...in the back. PLEASE HELP!)
Build the Dome- Tuesday 9AM (approx 5 hours. The dome builder will be present, I will lovingly organize, there will be beer, snacks and love :)
Supervise the Dome- The dome will have an internal misting system inside and will be a comfortable 80 degrees all day. Get these shifts while they are cool ;) Tuesday PM-Sunday AM. 4 hour shift. 10AM-2PM or 2PM-6PM.
Strike the Dome- Sunday 2 PM, (there will be snacks, libations, love, love and more LUV! BEST STRIKE EVER!!!)
I am fundraising to get the dome to Ghana, by hauling stuff in a truck to the playa. If you or your camp need things to get to the playa, and you don't have a way yet, please contact me so that I can haul your stuff from San Francisco and help you, help me, help Ghanaian school children have a school!
Donations to the project are also needed! (Got tarps, blacklight paint, clothespins, a laminator or CASH? I need it!)
You will find the Eduplaytional Oasis at Sacred Spaces Camp at 5:00 and Esplanade.
Many Happy Thoughts
