Skype chat today between Dr. Ben Hindley and Richard Nelson
Dr. Ben Hindley: Hi!
Richard Nelson: this month I am focused on Humanitarian
Sola Roof project for Haiti
Richard Nelson: it will also launch a kit system for small scale DIY
Sola Roof greenhouses using simple structure and system configuration and covered with cheap polyethylene film
Dr. Ben Hindley: Please Send me information on thsat also.
Richard Nelson: the kit will be open to manufacture by all interested parties on a basis of 1%
Open Source payment
Richard Nelson: end users (who are DIY) would also make 1%
Honor Payment and all these voluntary non-commercial use payments will go to fund community-based humanitarian projects
Dr. Ben Hindley: DIY?? What is this?
Richard Nelson: these community based social enterprise will also commit to "
Pay It Forward" so that the replication of projects in disaster situations will snow ball
Richard Nelson: DIY
Dr. Ben Hindley: Thanks!
Dr. Ben Hindley: This would fit under my Church Ministry.
Richard Nelson: this is a program for self-reliant recovery and rebuilding of communities - using a social enterprise model rather than an "aid" model
Richard Nelson: Okay, I was thinking of taking this to the Corporate Chaplins Canada mission
Richard Nelson: the key idea is not "aid" but to enAble
Dr. Ben Hindley: Yes that would work also.
Dr. Ben Hindley: Yes that is right. Like teach them to fish rather than send them a boat laod of fish.
Richard Nelson: I have a good friend who is the Ontario Director of Corporate Chaplins
Richard Nelson: his name is Pastor David Smith
Dr. Ben Hindley: Go for it. I am up to my ears in work right now with the Algae business
Dr. Ben Hindley: I can assit if needed.

Richard Nelson: through Outreach we can find corporate partners that would share the vision of
Kingdom Building? - which will have a sustainable foundation and true
Earth Stewardship?
Richard Nelson: I am considering that the Christian led and owned companies who take the
Open Source license (agreeing to the
Honor Payment of 1% could flow their payment through Outreach to our solaroof projects in the mission field - with first objective Haiti
Richard Nelson: I can introduce you as a corporate partner of
Sola Roof who is willing and able to subscribe to such a commitment
Richard Nelson: However, you understand that this
Open Source method is very low cost and not intended to be a basis for commercial, profit motivated development
Richard Nelson: the
Open Source methods are accessible and use basic, cheap materials that are easily applied in a DIY community
Dr. Ben Hindley: Yes that is fine. I am also working with the United Nations on the Sprillia Project. This will tie together.
Richard Nelson: this DIY community will learn from each other and share best practices - and the homeless will be empowered by the
Honor Payments? from the user community to receive the financial suppor so that they can build community based projects
Richard Nelson: wow, that is great
Dr. Ben Hindley: http://www.iimsam.org
Dr. Ben Hindley: I am suppose to start to manufacture small low cost sprillia farms.
Richard Nelson: I was going to write David Smith to introduce this idea today - perhaps I could copy this chat instead of making another effort to put the idea onto paper
Dr. Ben Hindley: once we get the corporate farms up and running and the other projects in place than we can branch out into this area.
Dr. Ben Hindley: Yes that is fine with me.
Richard Nelson: fantastic
Richard Nelson: I will include the BC Director and a couple of other people who might help
Richard Nelson: This has been my thought exercise on this same subject - but perhaps now it can become an activated with a real life project
Dr. Ben Hindley: Yes It can. Pyt my part under Ben Hindley Ministries.
Richard Nelson: the password for editing pages and writing new pages is: moonroof

Richard Nelson: Okay, I will get an email out to our potential supporters - thanks so much for your participation
Dr. Ben Hindley: You are welcome. Have to go to some meeting now and get the manufacturing set up. Will keep you posted. Ben
Richard Nelson: Very good, we will keep this moving, Richard
