Earlier this year we launched our first crowd funding campaign through Indiegogo to raise the funds to build our first traditional brick & tile making kiln in Romania for the Carpathian Villages Project: Preserving Romania’s Traditions.
Please take a moment to check out the campaign and donate whatever you can - every dollar helps! We’ve also got some great perks for our donors!
Most importantly, please share this over social media and with your friends!

At Mirador, Guatemala, conservation will focus on consolidating the Popol Vuh frieze and constructing a shelter over it for protection in addition to stabilizing and conserving three other ancient structures at the site. Community development efforts, meanwhile, will continue with support of the literacy education program for the project workmen, funding for site guards and implementation of a water collection and storage system.
At Chavin de Huantar, Peru, further conservation will be performed on the extensive subterranean canal system as well as urgently needed conservation of Building A. Support will also be provided to the tour guide training program for local community members.
