Re-purposeful Recycling
There is a saying in the kite world..."One Sky One World"...that emphasizes the cultural diversity that encourages and demonstrates the boundless commonality that there is on a kite field.
Kites are a physical manifestation of the resilient nature, inner strength, and undying hope that humans posses. This was never so abundantly clear as it was on the island of Haiti in 2010. Immediately after a devastating earthquake rocked the tiny Caribbean island, we started seeing photos emerging from Haiti that showed kids standing atop heaps of garbage flying kites made out of scraps they were able to scavenge from the rubble. The pictures are inspiring!
Through-out the year, but especially on Earth Day 22 April Aeolus Curricula emphasizes how easy it is to make a kite out of recycled household materials.
