...More opportunities Manilla Light the world Event Our brilliant chapter coordinator, Illiac, in Manilla, Philippines would like to establish a Global Lighting Week. Where instead of shutting off the lights for one hour we will teach the world to light up their homes forever. The idea being to create software for AFH to download on any smart phone to disperse the instructions and capture the process of installing lights in dwellings across the globe. When the solar bottle (night) light is installed, you take a picture with a smartphone and it will automatically geotag itself in the world. The chapter member can then upload photos and videos on respective websites uniting the network in one amazing act. Lets get together to plan this event! Go to the Liter of Light homepage to learn more about the technology that enables you to make light with recycled plastic bottles.
Architecture for humanity Partners with Presidio graduate school We recently submitted a proposal to the Presidio Graduate School for the creation of a sustainable business plan for the chapter network. After hearing the good news of the accepted proposal we will shortly begin working with a team of MBA students to develop a sustainable business plan. While we put our minds together to strategize the most balanced busi-
ness model for more autonomous chapters, we will simultaneously be working on a proposal for chapter network improvements, additions, and further fluid means of communication and representation. The business plan will be completed in time for the new year.
