Are you our visionary project manager?
1 comment | posted Apr 30
We're excited about our sustainable shelter plans now being drawn up by experts in the fields of green design and missions for the poor.
At this point, we're working on finding a visionary project manager, for collaboration on local and international shelter projects. Talk with us at cleangreenstudios [at] gmail [dot] com
And thanks for your prayers, friendings and encouragements! We put them all in a virtual hopper, shake them around and pull out one per day to keep going.
