Has anyone thought of such a project?? Or some variation of such?
While most bowl projects ultimately provide food - how about providing
bowls. Surely there is a need for most everything there, and having
bowls to put food in would help I would think.
My connections and organizational skills aren't sufficient to lead such
a project, but I would do what I could to help.
The Clayart Community is probably the only group, organization or
whatever that would have the capacity to produce the bowls at low enough
cost and in sufficient quantity to meet the need. Drawing from all
across Clayart Land, a whole lot of bowls could be made and delivered.
Those poor people down there need virtually everything, bowls included.
Ideas, suggestions, comments?
John

if you are actually trying to make a difference in their lives, I hate
to say it, but walmart has better product - they sell stuff for even
cheaper than we can make it. noble as the idea sounds, I'm sure the
haitians have more pressing needs at the moment than finely crafted
handmade bowls. stainless steel might be a better choice given the
rough living conditions of the moment.
you would probably do better to make and sell some bowls (or vases
or platters or sculptures) here for profit and use the proceeds to buy
medicine and food, and to help pay for reconstruction of buildings
and shelter. or use the extra money you earn to fund a volunteer to
go help them.
