The make lounge is a concept that can be copied for the skills you impart. You could create collectives that creates stuff - then learns to teach stuff (to the community for small fee) - collaboratively make it, and then sell it either as part of a charity auction or as part of your "portable charity shop" ;-) For Bunny Ideas: >Develop a puppet kit... all the bits they need, instructions, ideas on paper element and an invitation to: >> send you their puppet creation photos (to go into a book!!!) >>send you their puppet movie to be put on your youtube channel (most viewed would be put onto DVD and sold - Vanity factor!!! >>donate their first puppet to go into a puppet catwalk or puppet "celebrity" - voted by people (in a celebration event?) >Develop animation kit... perhaps animation kit that learners can use on the day then buy to take home and practice. They then could be invited to: >>Share/send their story for the corresponding book >>Share/send their animatin for inclusion in the youtube channel For Xtine & ELiz, what could you think about for your activities? >Story sack kit & instructions? >character cakes?

"Human Centered Design Toolkit Close For years, companies and other organizations have used Human-Centered Design to arrive at innovative business solutions. Funded by IDE as part of a grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and in collaboration with non-profit groups ICRW and Heifer International, IDEO relied on this approach to improve the lives of communities in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. The resulting HCD Toolkit helps NGO staff and volunteers understand people's needs in new ways, find innovative solutions to meet these needs, and deliver solutions with financial sustainability in mind. The free kit is divided into four sections that bolster listening skills, running workshops, and implementing ideas. The HCD Toolkit contains the elements to Human-Centered Design, a process used for decades to create new solutions for multi-national corporations. This process has created ideas such as the HeartStart defibrillator, Cleanwell natural antibacterial products, and the Blood Donor System for the Red Cross--innovations that have enhanced the lives of millions of people. This process has been specially-adapted for NGOs and social enterprises that work with impoverished communities in Africa, Asia, and Latin America and compiled into a Toolkit available for download here or for order at cost at www.blurb.com."
