Last April, I toured Uganda teaching people how to sew hammocks, and donated four sewing machines to continue the project... which is called Stitch Uganda Together: stitchugandatogether.blogspot.com

This April and May I plan to be back in Uganda, and so I'm gathering a crew to tour teaching circus skills, green building and gardening.

I'm good with a hoop and can walk a slackline. I love building with bamboo. We'll create the Temple of Lost and Found on the slopes of Mt. Elgon. Think of it as the creative-comfort vibe of a Burning Man camp, crossed with the nature and good food of a rainbow gathering, and lots of kids--very sweet kids, who need lots of love, because their folks died in landslides. This is in connection with a village of 2000 people called Bunabumali, in Uganda, on the border of Kenya.

With help from Pacific Domes and Jeff Taylor, I got a 60ft dome from the playa to Mississippi after Katrina to hooked up with a Rainbow kitchen, and we rocked it for nine months. We'll do this grassroots style in Uganda and Mexico too.

Performers Without Borders has great videos showing their work... and this is the sort of thing we could do:

and Lucent Dossier in LA(many you'd know) have also done this sort of playful work:
