Thank you so much. The Earthship crew has returned. The building is a HUGE success. This could not have happened without YOU. BIG thank yous to everyone! We have changed the life of a deserving family, educated a lot of people from all over the world and furthered the Earthship concept for all of humanity. New pictures are posted below. Watch for new videos and more project reports. Thank you so much to the interns and to everyone who has donated and helped make this project happen. |
Giving Back in Guatemala
Earthship Biotecture crew and Long Way Home are teaming up to build a sustainable Earthship home for Maria and her family. |

An Earthship provides free clean drinking water and the opportunity to grow food. Solar electricity, in addition to the natural light from the green house provides lighting for working and cooking. The secure structure of an Earthship will allow her looming business to continue and grow. |
The intern positions for this project have been filled.

This is not Earthship’s first building experience in Guatemala. This past April, an experienced Earthship team built a satellite office for Adbongo. Visit: April, 2011 Earthship Build: for details and images of the past project in Guatemala.
Last year, Long Way Home founder - Mateo Paneitz, participated in an internship at the Earthship Biotecture Headquarters in Taos, NM hoping to hone his skills in sustainable and recycled building in the town of Comalapa. Long Way Home is in the process of building a Sustainable Vocational Education Center. This is not only a sustainable building and teaching tool itself, but the school will also focus on developing the skills to build sustainable municipal, residential, and commercial building solutions. This education will produce trained local builders and the education will in turn help them find employment.
This partnership with Earthship Biotecture will provide exactly that: Paid employment for the locally trained sustainable builders, in addition to providing a sustainable home for Maria and her children in desperate need of help.
Thank you!
