The team returned to the building site for a lovely graduation ceremony planned by USAID/TEPS. The project was a great success for the Mayo team (SHPDO, NOHS, University of Khartoum, Homes for Sudan, For A Purpose, ARC Peace Sudan, Mayo Women's Association Dalu for Development, Malam Darfur) and USAID/TEPS. Our thanks to the Mayo community!<br />

USAID officer Markus Dausses, the Chief of Mission Steven Koutsis, and the Commissioner from Jebel Aulia helped the team celebrate their big day; this was an empowering gesture that meant the world to the newly minted 'trainers'! Mr. Wallace Bain (Political Economics Officer at the US Embassy) and Deputy Chief of Mission Ellen Thorburn, J.D. were at the graduation as well. Since they had come with us on the Nile cruise<i> and</i> were honored guests with the team at Imam Ahmed Al Mahdi's picnic they were 'old friends' to the trainees by graduation day.<br />

The men of the community were starting to feel left out, and were complaining that the new building was for women only. They wanted to know 'what about the men who helped.' We explained that men and women got trained so they could all know how to build many more buildings, and the men could build a center for themselves! The Mayo Women's Association awarded a certificate to Mr. Jabir, director of the adjacent Peace Park and community liaison officer, for his assistance with their incorporation as Dalu for Development and his support with the project.<br />

Stay tuned for updates on next project possibilities this winter. We will be re-incorporating Homes for Sudan as a 501c3 in the next few months to begin fundraising for several more building projects with our newly trained 'trainers.' Additionally some joint efforts with the Centre for Entrepreneurship at the University of Khartoum and with Portland State University, some faculty and student exchanges between the USA and the Sudan assisted by Seeds for Jubilee, and - Inshallah - a conference on 'Democracy 2020: Parties, Leadership, and Elections' with the Department of Political Science at the University of Khartoum.<br />

They asked the women to accompany Doc to do a 'case study' presentation at the Entrepreneurship Week Conference in December at the University of Khartoum. Doc will do the power point with pictures, the ladies of Mayo agreed to talk. One of them has a university degree, the second is working on her degree and the other two have HS diplomas and have completed a couple of business courses. Homes for Sudan intends to follow up with all of the trainees to help them in their new ventures. This will be the goal of the new grant applications and continued partnerships with the organizations on this project!! </div>

<span style="font-size: large;">And a long overdue shout out to our 'eco volunteers' from 'For A Purpose</span>' - Jooren Surmont (AKA Djo) and Mathias Vandewouwer (AKA Mathi).<br />
<br />
Djo was traveling in Nepal during the 2015 earthquake, and immediately rolled up his sleeves and started volunteering with relief distribution. He returned to Belgium, raised some funds, and traveled to Nepal the following year, and volunteered with architect Adam Chalupski building a school with earth bags.<br />
<br />
He decided he would return to Belgium, gather some of his friends like Mathi and Aaron; and start a group on Facebook to bring funds and builders back to Nepal to build earth quake resistant buildings for the communities.<br />
<br />
While some people fervently believe in God and are very religious, God fervently believes in great human beings like Djo and Mathi who might not be religious, but who selflessly volunteer their time and money to help better humanity and bring relief to victims of poverty and earthquakes. Djo will be going back to Belgium to work for a few months, host some more fund raisers, and then attend an earth-building workshop to learn some new techniques before resuming their work in Nepal. Mathi will be taking a break with his significant other for a few months, also helping to raise funds with Djo before returning to Nepal. <span style="font-size: large;">We cannot thank them enough for their tireless contribution to the team and the community of Mayo!!!</span><br />

This week we dedicate our blog to remembering
my Sudanese father Mohamed Habiballa, and post some pictures of a sad, but special day when we learned of his passing.<br />

Sad that we lost such a noble man to
God, but so special to have spent a day with such fine people as I have ever met
from Darfur, Nuba Mountains, and Dongola. On the morning that I learned of
Mohamed’s passing we had a picnic planned for the team to Jebel Aulia for a bit
of relaxation after many weeks of intensive learning, hard work, and tough days - and to bid farewell to
Najlaa, our ARC Peace architectural advisor who was leaving for UAE.<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The Habiballa family first introduced me to the Sudan in
2005, shortly after the Comprehensive Peace Agreement was signed. Their family’s
organization - the American Sudanese Council - worked hard to foster a better
relationship between the Sudan and America and to help push forward the peace
process. Their inspiration led to 'Homes for Sudan' to provide some tools for the
people from Darfur to help rebuild their lives in a bigger and better way. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The
amazing people on our Mayo project team have demonstrated a cohesiveness, determination, and
work ethic unlike any we have yet seen in the Sudan. On our visit to Jebel Aulia, the whole team decided in solidarity that if the authorities did
not let the two people from Belgium (Mathi and Djo), and the two from America
(Doc and Jason) access the bridge and dam - then they would not go either. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In the end we all got to go. We feel certain that the
individual and collective members of the team will work together to carry on
the legacy of helping each other to rebuild houses for the displaced, to build
businesses for themselves, and make better lives for those who have endured war
and conflict. Posted are a few pictures below of a day demonstrating the spirit
of some great people from the Sudan and the legacy of Mohamed Habiballa’s kind
and noble spirit as he continues to support us from his new life beyond.<o:p></o:p><br />

Sunday morning some of the team asked why we didn't put in the work pictures this week (actually we forgot the camera in the truck), so adding some work pictures now. We had some visitors this week to see our advanced progress.

The domes look great, but the team was showing signs of fatigue - though we caught a second wind at the end of this week. We have only actually worked eleven weeks on the building itself (discounting tear down and the week off for Eid), nevertheless, it has taken longer than we anticipated.<br />

The end of the week showed some great progress in spite of the weariness, and had some good benchmarks! In addition to the plaster, the electricity was installed and by the end of the week, the conduits were covered in plaster, and the beams set.<br />
<br />
The team needed a couple of team meetings this week as patience was getting short and some of those that came from Darfur are missing 'home'.<br />

The USAID engineer Amir paid us a visit this week along with the AECOM's US-Sudan representative Jason. They spoke to us about 'the next steps, ' which we would like to take place in Darfur with an ARC Peace project. The Haggar folks and the AECOM team will follow up with the women's organization in Dalu for business planning, so we are already working with them to plan for the future.<br />

Tuesday morning at 0200 was haboob (dust storm) time again followed by a big
rain, but the site was accessible and since the day was cool (relatively for

will be plastering, and putting in the windows and electricity in the next few
weeks.<o:p></o:p></div>

We are combining weeks nine and ten since week nine was 'Eid al Adha' and people disappear for almost two weeks instead of the official four day holiday. At the last moment, the 'State' declared Sunday a holiday as well, but the whole team <i><b>heroically</b></i> worked for one day on Ustaz Hooman's last week.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
We took lots of farewell shots with the team and everyone exchanged Facebook and WhatsApp contacts to keep in close touch with Ustaz Hooman while we spend the next month finishing.<br />

Eid Al Adha is a huge holiday for the Sudanese with lamb sacrifices to commemorate God staying Abraham's hand from slaying his son (for the Muslims it is Ishmael and for the Christians and Jews it is Isaac) as a sacrifice; and the angel bringing a sheep to slaughter instead. Needless to say a LOT of sheep is eaten this week and several of the team members invited Ustaz Hooman, Raha, and Doc to meals. It was a lot to squeeze in....<br />

Remember, the first week of the project was tearing down the old building, so we have only been at it for nine weeks with one week off for Eid, and a few breaks from the rain, so what we have is less than eight weeks (of only five days a week working in the extreme heat) of actual work. The team should be extremely proud and pleased.<br />

We had the third, two hour installment of the business class taught by Dr. Abdelgadir from the University of Khartoum. We are doubly grateful for his efforts since we know how busy he is running between two universities and serving on countless boards. We are privileged to have such a senior important person spending time with us in Mayo!!<br />
<br />
We were so sad to see Aaron preparing to depart.<br />

It is time for a shout out to our partners and donors again! Our newest partner donor is one that has contributed before - The Haggar Foundation. Having Sudanese partners is our greatest pleasure, and the Haggar Foundation partnered with Homes for Sudan, the Stead Foundation, and some of our Mennonite friends from Ohio to send two University of Khartoum Students to the US to study intensive English composition two years ago. Both Stead and Haggar joined us for this project along with USAID/TEPS, For a Purpose, the Seeds for Jubilee Foundation, and the University of Khartoum, as well as the Sudanese organizations SHPDO, NOHS, Malam Project, ARC Peace Sudan, and our wonderful women with Dalu for Development.<br />

Not to leave out one of our most important donors - the AFRA Plastics Industry (Mr. Maher) who donated all of the polypropylene bags allowing us money to 'buy dirt' for this project. Since this dome was in the middle of a town, we couldn't just dig the earth in place as we have done in the past, so we had to import.<br />
<br />
Last but not least, a special thanks to Dr. Murtada Moustafa and his family, our hosts who have helped out with housing for all of our visiting architects and earth-builders since 2007. We could not have done any of this without them!<br />

Apart from the Eid celebration which was a welcome break, the week back was an adjustment for everyone. Djo and Mathi had to get used to the heat again, since any cool weather brought with the rain is now over... and the team was missing their 'Ustaz Hooman' who has the patience of Job after working in Africa and the Middle East for so many years.<br />

Djo (who is quitting smoking) and Doc had a little trouble with patience this week - we want so much to pass along the culture of 'WE CAN' and get rid of 'we can't'... The team was good natured. They are one of the best teams Doc and Ustaz have worked with in the Sudan, so we have so much hope.<br />
<br />
<br />
The team at the Haggar Foundation is most interested in continuing with some projects with the women and we would like to bring some of the young entrepreneur groups to speak with the team in the coming two weeks to give them some innovation and hope for the future... We believe this must come from the Sudanese, not from the outsiders...<br />

showed a final power point presentation of some of the fine-tuning of dome
designs and techniques with examples from Chad, Darfur, and Sierra Leone. He
kept the class riveted with great stories from his work in Africa and
the Middle East. The domes are truly beautiful and we can’t wait to see what
the team will come up with on their own in Mayo and Darfur. We are confident
that amazing designs will come out of the training. The material can fashion
into water reservoirs, sinks, lights, benches, domes, clinics, luxury houses,
and single dome houses.</span></span></div>

out of the earth bags.</span><br />

placement of windows, so a round – table/dome discussion (their third of the
class) ensued. Ustaz Hooman explained the different methods of mapping out the
window frames. The team gave their suggestions on the placement of the windows
for the best ventilation. By day three, the window frames were visible.
The smaller sized bags (50 cm) made for even faster work, and the team members

Monday the mixer arrived with a mixer expert and mechanic to
teach the team how to operate it. Several of them quickly mastered the
techniques, though the mixer is old and rickety, and requires a few ‘rigged’
pieces to make it work. It was a learning curve for everyone to figure out how
it was faster to have a mixer than to mix by hand, and by the end of the day
they had adjusted to its rhythm.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mixers

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Tuesday it rained the full day making work on the site
difficult, so it was a classroom day. Ustaz Hooman worked on some adaptable
designs with the class for Darfur. He gave them design assignments. They
brought up questions that they had on costs and were arguing to not have
cement. The classic example arrived when the rain caused a house across the
street to collapse. Ahmed Ali explained to the team that the cement prevented the soil
from melting.</span></div>

Alia’s uncle arrived on site again on Wednesday! He is very
serious about rebuilding Wadi Halfa and is looking to hire some of the trainees
when they finish their course. We told him that the SHPDO and NOHS folks are
going off to work for their respective NGOs, but that the Mayo guys might
welcome the work, at least the ones who are not married.</div>

It seemed like a short week because of the rain, but
Thursday was a fun day in particular. HS4S’s director, who usually takes the
pictures handed the camera to Leila who took over. We were astonished to
meet an old friend from Port Sudan - Abeer’s grandfather who had come to visit.
We had met ‘Captain Dejango’ when he took us snorkeling in Port Sudan two years
ago and then on a trip to Arkawit. Such a small world! Mohamed (AKA Captain
Dejango) wants to build a resort on the Red Sea using the earth bags.<o:p></o:p></div>

Alia and Reem from AECOM/ USAID/TEPS came out to the site to interview the team and get their views on the project. They reported positive feedback and general optimism and excitement about the project. One of the women reported the project has empowered her and made her realize how much she is capable of doing. We have watched the whole team gain confidence and initiative. The earth-builders from Belgium and Ustaz Hooman are daily demonstrating a great work ethic.<br />

extended into the whole week. We had a brief glimmer of hope on Tuesday that
one of the ladies' cousin might fix the mixer with a used Chinese motor, but no

become the ‘<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">chef d’oeuvre’</i> of the

The original inspiration for the whole project – architect
Adam Chaluspki - returned from a trip home to Poland this week to his work at Downtown Center in Khartoum where he is pursuing 'Forensic Architecture' with Dr. Seif from University of Khartoum. A conversation with Adam at Sweden House with the ARC Peace Sudan folks (and Dr. Osman Elkeir), inspired Homes for Sudan’s director Dr. Marie Besancon to team up with ARC
Peace, For A Purpose, SHPDO, and NOHS to try one more time to bring the
‘Superadobe’ building method to the Sudan. Adam and Marie quickly collaborated
on some proposals following the enthusiastic encouragement of Adam, who had
heard of our earlier efforts at earth-building in the Sudan. USAID/TEPS (Toward Enduring Peace in Sudan) took up the vision.<br />

It was the right timing as the stars aligned; USAID/TEPS brought
us the Mayo/Dalu ladies organization to host the project along with some
funding, and the University of Khartoum’s Faculty of Architecture Dr. Ahmed
Abdalla decided to make it a university research endeavor. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>While back home in the US, HS4S’s director
raised some funds from long time supporters the Stead Foundation, and newer partner, the Seeds

made of completely recycled material soon. We are hoping this will be a low cost item allowing the people of the periphery of the Sudan to be able to afford these safe, environmentally friendly houses.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Najlaa from ARC Peace located a donated mixer for us, which
arrived on site Wednesday, however it appears to need a new motor and a lot of
work. It is a beautiful piece of machinery made in 1961 (almost from the Mahdi
era… well, not quite), and has metal wheels. Amazing, but probably not
practical, and it would take too long to fix as well as a lot of money. We looked at another used mixer with thoughts of purchasing it, but it also was not operational.</span></div>

After only two weeks of the actual workshop (the first week Mathias and Djo tore down the old building), we have an exceptional amount of
building finished. Next week we will start with the smaller salmon colored bags
for the rise of the structure. We decided to keep the 60 cm bags as foundation
and buttressing – making the building extra strong! We looked at one of the
mixer rental sites on Thursday and Saturday, but did not find a suitably
operating mixer at a reasonable price. Apparently everyone uses ‘ready-mix’ for
their buildings, so finding working mixers is difficult.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

The team advanced the domes almost to floor level with buttresses included this week. They are developing a strong work ethic, making the work smooth and swift. <span style="font-size: 12pt;">The week was brutally hot, so the team did
remarkably well for such harsh conditions. It is supposed to be a bit cooler, breezy, and rainy during this time of the year, but we have had little rain. </span></div>

The earth-builders from 'For A Purpose' have built quite a few earth bag structures in Nepal, but never a stabilized earth dome. So Ustaz Hooman is able to pass along his many years of experience and knowledge to the earth builders as well as the class of trainees from Mayo, Nuba Mountains and Darfur. The NGOs who sent their trainees (AECOM, SHPDO, and NOHS) want to be the forerunners of bringing this technique to an area where the IDPs (internally displaced persons) will be leaving camps to return to their villages soon. It isn't just that this building method is fairly low cost - it does not require cutting any trees, it is fire resistant/proof, and flood resistant - lasting a very long time. The members of ARC Peace Sudan send one of their architects daily to assist with the work, finding equipment, and to learn the technique themselves to apply to their village designs for Darfur.<br />

The University of Khartoum's Faculty of Architecture remains engaged in their research and oversight of the project.<br />

Monday a guy with a cane showed up saying one of the community
leaders had sent him, and he started working on the site. Ahmed Abdulrachman,
our assistant manager and I gently took him aside and said that probably he
shouldn’t be lifting anything. We wondered why he showed up, and it turned out
he was our applicant for the security guard position. We negotiated a bit, and
came up with a salary, a plan, and a demand from him. So, Bernard from various
places in South Sudan (from where exactly, it was unclear) is the security guard for the
time being.</div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">The work is not easy, but we were blessed with a few breezy
days bringing the temperature down a bit. Hooman, Djo, and Mathi are doing a
great job of developing ‘</span><i style="font-size: 12pt;">ésprit

Sudan’s director is dividing her time between Mayo and the University of
Khartoum (for other joint efforts with University of Khartoum, US embassy, and Portland State in the business management and political science areas) which makes for a lot of time on the roads (much of it white knuckle
time). By the third day, the team had the rock and bag filled with rocks
foundation begun, so the layout of the double dome building was already visible.</span></div>

The end of 2017 and early 2018 have been busy times
rebooting HS4S after a long period of relatively little activity. We are
re-instating our 501c3, which lapsed due to the inactivity, and are gearing
up for several new projects, workshops, and conferences. These are providing
opportunities for partnerships with other foundations and organizations
including the University of Khartoum and Portland State University as well as
several Sudanese NGOs that have been working for years in Darfur, Blue Nile,
Abyei, and the Nuba Mountains. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>HS4S
participated in recent UN and NGO meetings that reiterated the urgency of
building with fireproof material and materials that are not tree based. The
IDPs are leaving the camps and returning to their villages – cutting down what
few trees are left in certain areas, particularly Darfur, would tip the
environmental disaster over the eternal edge. </div>

While our previous earth-building training of more than 100+
architects, students, engineers, and builders didn’t produce much traction, due
to many factors, interest has suddenly increased exponentially in earth
building. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">It is only recently that aid organizations are starting to move from
emergency relief to rebuilding and development.</i></b> <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Furthermore, there is a huge burst of
interest in entrepreneurship training in the Sudan including the University of
Khartoum’s newly launched <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Centre for
Entrepreneurship</b>. HS4S has a proposal partnering Portland State’s business
school and school of government with the University of Khartoum to craft the
curriculum for the Centre. Portland State has a highly developed Impact
Entrepreneur program that we would like to share and revise with the faculty of
University of Khartoum to make it Africa/Sudan appropriate. We will be
soliciting funds for this soon! The strategy is for entrepreneurship training
to aid the newly trained earth builders in starting businesses for themselves.
Boosting the economy is a must along with HS4S’s mission to train the less
fortunate to rebuild their burned houses.<o:p></o:p></div>

While we did not see a lot of innovation from the previous earth-building
training, USAID informed us that there are areas where some earth building was
done after our training<span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-hansi-font-family: Cambria;">—</span>a few places in Blue Nile and Khartoum. Some of our trained
earth builders recently formed a Sudan chapter of ARC Peace and would like
another round of training. They are working with an engineer from Darfur who
has done some village planning for updating and rebuilding a burned village in
his area. ARC Peace and Homes for Sudan will work with him in the future to
help the villagers build earth based houses (that are <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">superadobe</i>, thus more durable than the mud or stick houses) and
other innovative buildings for schools and public buildings.<o:p></o:p></div>

The arrival in Khartoum of Adam, a Polish architect, who has

project in one of the refugee areas outside Khartoum that USAID and Habitat for
Humanity started. HS4S’s director, Ahmed from the department of
architecture at the University of Khartoum, and Adam met with some of the women and
village leaders in this area and proposed a new women’s training center. Three other Sudanese NGOs

workshop. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Hooman, our architect who trained under Nadir Khalili and who conducted the 2009 workshop in

<div class="MsoNormal">
The rains of 2017 have brought a spectacular volume of water
to the Blue and White Niles – a hundred-year record high. The waters coming up
the White Nile from Uganda and South Sudan were so forceful they managed to
push back the engorged Blue Nile overflowing from the Ethiopian rains. The
storms themselves are reminiscent of the storms near the Great Lakes of the US - frighteningly fierce. Homes for Sudan's <i>super adobe</i> houses are flood proof - the storms and high waters all the more reason for building secure houses for the less fortunate.</div>

We did not send anyone this past summer, partially due to

into a new grant proposal to expand our earth building with education and
assistance in opening a permanent institution at the University of Khartoum for
social entrepreneurship. The aim is to eventually hand all of the work over to enterprising young university graduates who will have a vision to aid the less fortunate in their own country. We will still build the earth houses, but through the local talent. <o:p></o:p></div>

Homes for Sudan (HS4S) is still focusing on building, but approaching from a different angle - that of education for entrepreneurship as well as the earth-building (the <i>superadobe</i> building method pioneered by Calearth). Portland State University and the University of Khartoum discussed re-crafting the social entrepreneurship and leadership certificate program to be more modular with joint teaching from both faculties in the Sudan and in Portland, as well as incorporating some train the trainer programs. Academic exchanges will serve multiple purposes: one, it will give flexibility to the certificate program and eliminate the need for travel or visas for the students and two, it will enable many more students to be taught. But primarily it should set up some of the young people who graduate with the innovation and tools to either start their own businesses or lead in programs to help better their own country. In addition to applying for grants, HS4S is also raising funds for these endeavors.<br />
<br />
This summer HS4S - with the support of a generous Mennonite Sunday school class, Northwest State Community College, and two foundations (American and Sudanese) - brought two students from the University of Khartoum to the United States to work on perfecting their English writing and composition skills - important for both international relations and for any kind of global business endeavors. A lot of good people in the US and the Sudan worked together to make this visit an educational and cultural success!! Thank you to all who contributed!<br />
<br />

It was a learning experience for Muslim students to see the varied forms of religious life thriving in the US such as the Amish of Ohio and Indiana, and the Mennonites; and ironic to hear a hijab wearing Muslim ask why the Amish live in the same way they did hundreds of years ago..? But they enjoyed hearing all of the similarities in the stories of the Bible and the Quran, as did their host families.<br />
<br />
The students immersed in the local cultural - observing the president of the college do his own farm and yard work, their professor do all of her own house, farm and yard work, and their tutor's husband who is a psychiatrist/MD/PhD do his farm and yard work. It is culturally frowned upon in the Sudan for university graduates to do any kind of labor. The students gamely jumped in to help out with the work!<br />
<br />
Of their time in the US, one of the students said: “I have discovered a new culture with a different perspective of life, a culture where children are raised to be responsible, women are less seen as wives and housekeepers, old citizens are perceived as seniors in their community and play a major role in providing counseling for the younger generations. It is a place where volunteering is a duty that everyone does to help other lives to become better and more beautiful for it does not require much skill or knowledge. It can be as simple as taking care of the gardens of public institutions, where everything is facilitated for people with disabilities to carry out their lives as normal people.”<br />
<br />

They joined their hosts in some hard work on the farms, and tedious but rewarding tasks such as picking strawberries. On top of it all, they managed to start very intensive English composition courses plus one elective course each; all the while maintaining their Ramadan fasting.<br />
<br />
Since the summer sun sets very late in the Great Lakes Region of Ohio - they had some long hours of fasting with their long hours of course work! They were somewhat surprised to learn how difficult and competitive it is to apply for good graduate programs in the United States. We know the summer and the future social entrepreneurship certificate program will give graduating students the advantages and tools they need to make a difference in their country and in the world!<br />

HS4S founder is in Khartoum at the University of Khartoum working with graduate students in political science and mentoring the undergraduate English club as well as research.<br />
<br />
Many factors have impacted education in the Sudan including budget spread to a larger number of schools, fewer faculty members doing their graduate education abroad, national budget percentage allocated to education, and limited access to international academic literature. The University is endeavoring to open doors for school exchange programs with local colleges and universities in the US and forging partnerships for education; as the US sanctions on education, medical equipment and agricultural supplies have been lifted on the Sudan.<br />
<br />
Lancet arches supporting the halls and historic buildings of Gordon College (now University of Khartoum) from the turn of the century bring to mind the cultural as well as climate appropriateness of Homes for Sudan's '<i>superadobe'</i> housing proposals and projects. Unfortunately, HS4S's workshop in Khartoum - as it was the very first one - produced the least beautiful dome structure, but a sturdy one that survived flood and neglect. Nevertheless, the workshops trained multiple students from the University of Khartoum, several of the independent technical schools, and semi-independent building organizations. In 2015, one of HS4S's team members visited the dome dwelling built in Tonj in 2009. In spite of recent conflict in South Sudan, the structure is being used to house 10 people and has stood strong in all of the adversity with little impact other than some of the external plaster peeling off.<br />
<br />
Funding and partnerships are still tricky with the monetary transfer restrictions, but there is no less need for the housing and the technical training. Combining '<i>superadobe' </i>workshops with technical training and even a type of international cultural training (suggested by one of the Sudanese ambassadors) has been discussed with the university and the local businessmen. The students and the country in general could profit from encouragement and entrepreneurial leadership training. In Darfur as well as Khartoum, an embedded culture of entitlement and expectations for answers and money from abroad prevails, when in fact all of the requisite resources are in the country already - including human capital.

The students at the university are very smart and eager to learn given open doors and willing faculty of which there are many. The opportunity to discuss masters' theses and general political science and international issues with the students is rewarding and the ability of the students to quickly grasp new concepts is impressive. The students have diverse interests for their theses, but one one recurring theme is the wisdom of the separation of South Sudan from the Sudan with all of its ensuing issues: citizenship, borders, loss of trade revenue, continuing conflicts, and new conflicts in the South. The students also have innovative ideas about the migration issues caused by conflicts in the MENA region and lingering issues on reconstruction and reconfiguration of governance in Darfur.<br />
<br />
The University of Khartoum has regular visits of delegations from Darfur giving cultural demonstrations and local tribal dances on campus. The Darfur students receive financial aid for their tuition and housing from the government -- since the various peace treaties signed through international mediation have been partially implemented.<br />

Homes for Sudan is proposing sponsoring some students for summer courses in the US as well as long distance learning courses on social entrepreneurship. Portland State University offers a certificate for online courses with training on leadership/entrepreneurship from the business school including a practicum section -- and is developing a partnership with the University of Khartoum. <i>What is needed is funding for the students.</i> La Sierra's Students in Free Enterprise (SIFE) are still eager and willing to partner with Homes for Sudan on various projects given a revived interest in Sudan.</div>

A Sudanese American businessmen recently expressed interest in partnering with HS4S. We discussed the serious lack of craftsmanship knowledge in the Sudan and proposed some technical training in electrical, plumbing, and tile fitting skills.

After a long time away, HS4S Director and board member will be taking a trip back to the Sudan. Recently, some of our past efforts in Darfur have borne fruit! A young Sudanese who heard about the dome workshop in Nyala has started his own nonprofit for sustainable housing and asked our assistance. We will investigate what possibilities there are with the nonprofit work on this trip considering the political situation. Things are very rough in South Sudan right now, but the Sudan (north) is in flux as well, though reasonably stable. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

In the mean time, we thought it would be nice to post the picture of the completed dome in Djibouti. This was a double/two story dome that one of the reservists designed. The villagers are so proud of this because they built it, they take care of it and they now know how to do this on their own! After this trip, we hope to rebuild the Homes for Sudan website (the director had to take some time off to make a living again).</div>

Access and fundraising are limited. In the mean time, HS4S's founder has been working in Djibouti and - as a side line - started a project with the Afar villagers, the Djiboutian Armed Forces, and the US military Civil Affairs teams to build an Eco-Dome in the mountains.

Taking inventory from the last four years, HS4S has some remarkable achievements unter its belt. With less than 100,000 dollars, we have built four domes: one in Khartoum, one in Tonj, South Sudan, one in Nyala Darfur, and now, one in Djibouti. But, even more significant than dome building, over 100 professional Architects, Engineers, contractors and IDPs know how to build the domes on their own.<br />

</tbody></table> Some of our partner architects in Khartoum have continued work on the teaching dome! <span id="goog_71185279"></span><span id="goog_71185280"></span>They hired Southerners to plaster the dome - and the Southerners have made it look like a thatched house in the South! Our NGO partners in Darfur would like to build on a larger scale, but we are waiting for some of the Darfur expats and donors to bring in the funds for the Darfur community! In the mean time, our HS4S Founder and CEO is working in Djibouti on an academic advisory team.... So, while we all must work nowadays some of our Civil Affairs guys and gals who are working with the Djiboutian locals and the military think the domes are a great idea. The local Red Crescent in Djibouti would also like to learn how to build the domes, so one of the Civil Affairs teams took up the challenge - found some sandbags and cement on the camp - and built a dome! They did an amazing job! Since it was around 120 degrees every day, and it was during Ramadan, they built all night long! Two of the troops had the priviledge of attending the Calearth (<a href="http://www.calearth.org/">http://www.calearth.org/</a>) class in September and have some ideas on how to make the domes work in Djibouti.<br />

We are praying that the referendum passes peacefully and that with some solid donations we can take our nascent workers trained in the Sudan and start re-building on a larger scale.

YES, the phoenix factor was in full force by the end of 2009.

Ted and Steve brought it well past the halfway point in December 2007. Hooman finished it with the collective help of an organization that had helped us in 2007 (Newtech), some of Kates students from 2007 (University of Khartoum and another Technical School), and some private (Aspalta Group Company and Eng. Fakhr) and public contractors (Africa City of Technology - ACT - who provided labor and some material) who are interested in using the methods in the South of the Sudan and in Darfur. Maha (Holm International School) and her mom donated enough active lime and cement to finish the dome! </div>

Homes for Sudan wishes to thank Dr. Murtada Mustafa for providing a place to stay for the team in Khartoum and for providing a place for the academics as well as a stimulating intellectual atmosphere.</div>
Fakhr Aldin brought his 'guy' to fix the cement mixer that had been standing for two years in the mud and the rain. Frankly, we don't know why it was still there, nor from where it came - so we attributed this to God also and were extremely thankful- <br />

The University of Khartoum, Sweden House and one of the Technical Colleges asked us to lecture - so we gained some new allies and disseminated knowledge to those who are now capable of tending to the 'quality control' aspect of the buildings. <br />

It is a testimony to the strength of the material that it worked anyway. Our later dome in Darfur is much prettier. This one will be much more beautiful after it is plastered and the doors and windows evened out. The lime and 'cotton soil' mix for the first 3/4 of the dome actually worked. The material was a bit unwieldy and sticky - making it difficult to fill the sandbags - but nevertheless, if that is the only material available - it can be used! Our initial batches of lime were not very active, so we used 15%... After we found truly active lime, we reduced it to 5% and mixed the cotton soil with rough and smooth sand. These materials are readily available and also quite cheap. <br />
We worked about 10 days on the Khartoum dome - [well, Hooman did, - and I was off doing things like renewing our license, asking for permits to Darfur and other such support matters] and we took off for Darfur. We left the finishing touches for Khartoum in the capable hands of Mohamed, 'Aderope', the newly trained laborers, and several of Hooman's student fans. We were stoked to see it finished when we got back! <br />

Dr. Mohamed - from the FAO had introduced this idea to teach the students and the IDPs a couple of years ago and we had set up the verbal agreement in September. The Dean of the College and one of the professors - Safi - organized a class with 25 engineering students, several IDPs from Kalma Camp, and several local small contractors. El Safi made sure that the materials were purchased and in place, and that we got the best possible prices in Darfur. Not easy since at best, the prices in Darfur are DOUBLE everything in Khartoum. Nevertheless, the materials for the small dome were less than $2000. This is much less than it would cost to build a concrete and steel structure, and much more stable than the traditional houses being rebuilt with the straw (one cannot but think of that famous fairy tale when looking at the straw houses - beautiful, but fragile). Besides, there isn't much wood in Darfur.... Imagine if a million IDPs came out of the camps all at once and cut down trees to rebuild their burned houses... Darfur would look like the moon. In anycase, we could see the wheels turning in the minds of the IDPs and the engineers... THIS type of building IS POSSIBLE in Darfur. </div>

We found barbed wire manufactured by the Chinese for reasonable prices and Hooman brought 400 meters of sandbag from Calearth on the airplane from California all the way to Darfur. We bought polypropylene flour sacks at the market for $0.50 each and soap sacks (used for part of the roof) for around $0.20 each. We are certain that they can be found cheaper than this and some of the merchants are planning to manufacture the bags - uncut - in the old fabric mills in Nyala. This would be really great. Hooman taught the students and IDPs how to do simple soil testing to see if lime might work better than the cement. Lime is locally mined in Darfur and available. The possibilities for cheaper, locally available material is extremely empowering for them along with their newly acquired skills at earthbuilding! By the seventh day, the crew was plastering the outside with the initial waterproofing layers and we left it to them to find the best way to finish the exteriors. As Hooman noted... there are many beautiful old dome shaped buildings in the Sudan. Clearly the people have the traditional skills at building domes with bricks. We can together introduce this newer method of building with cheaper, more environmentally friendly material. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I cannot help but make the point that the interior of these buildings is a peaceful and healing place! This is my passion to create safe and comforting environments to speed the healing of those traumatized by war.<img border="0" height="640" kt="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_OOMnU9IWQjeIuBULXn5YbvsnIqap_LA-xHTNREcfkHRnFWiXoH1GdWTxmO8MFp9GRKmvP0igRoifnIaXzrnlSo-T4qI4gFkq1YQ3eSOtpcWiabNxGNZGN1i0IYLlpnTx_d5GgA/s640/Healing+interiors.jpg" width="480" /> </div>

Having seen and stayed in the local round straw houses, the sand bag material certainly lends a more stable structure while providing light and space. The finished product on the campus of the Technical College is only the first. We are certain to build a clinic this year with help from all our supporters and will be more than pleased to build something that is in use and not a 'training dome' or 'prototype.' Not that it wasn't extremely satisfying to know that at least 70 more engineers and laborers now know how to build this type of house... Not only individuals, but contracting firms... capable of legally mobilizing local funds (something we are limited in doing by reason of our OFAC) to build many more in Darfur, the North, the East and the South! <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHlDElf4gmeJbS0DvJsDjNJytMRRI1HdMY5U_kqnTHVsJZxzXVhK3_jnCOvDJ8ZjcevY3VhkE1RzmWZzALzq9PAEVQk2nmEo22Qgsso2C_mQhyphenhyphenPQhE-E-_BKgt7a7NKEcmCYt6cA/s1600-h/Plastering+the+DfrDome.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" kt="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHlDElf4gmeJbS0DvJsDjNJytMRRI1HdMY5U_kqnTHVsJZxzXVhK3_jnCOvDJ8ZjcevY3VhkE1RzmWZzALzq9PAEVQk2nmEo22Qgsso2C_mQhyphenhyphenPQhE-E-_BKgt7a7NKEcmCYt6cA/s400/Plastering+the+DfrDome.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
Hey - I have to mention that Alexis Ohanian - one of the founders of REDDIT.com - is one of our secret supporters. He has connected us to his blog [http://breadpig.posterous.com]. Clearly there is so much more that I could mention in the way of donors, supporters, and literally hundreds of more pictures . What we know is that we will be back and we will build more. We also know that our great partners at SIFE and the Harvard Program in Refugee Trauma will help us with some of the business and trauma counseling elements of community development - post conflict. Also, we have no doubt that sharing knowledge will support the Sudanese population to recover, rebuild and be even better.<br />
Many thanks to all of you.<br />
