notes: Source from: http://handsacrosshaiti.ning.com/forum/topics/we-have-tents-to-donate?xg_source=activity Hello, I work for the Colorado Yurt Company in Montrose, CO. I few weeks back we donated some tents to doctors who went on a relief mission to Haiti, funded by Scranton University Medical School Alumni Association. Since we made that donation, many of our friends have wanted to donate to the production of more tents for Haiti Relief. We now need a new partner, ideally an NGO/non-profit who would sponsor the donations so our friends get a tax-write off. We will ship the tents (as part of the donation) anywhere in the US as long as said NGO can get them to Haiti. We are talking about a fairly small number of tents...the tents are to be check-through luggage on commercial airliners: instead of sending shipping containers full of tents, we envision sending tents down with aid workers who can stay in the tents while on the ground and then pass them onto locals or they could give them directly to locals. This means efficiant delivery of light weight-housing. I think users will find the tent design to be highly functional. It’s a little house shaped tent, 7’w x 7’d x 7’ tall, 3’-6” sidewall. There are eight poles, each 3’-6” long. Four poles couple together to made two center uprights. The tent is strong, though not heavy, canvas. The front, back and sides roll up to expose a full mosquito net lining. The tents need to be staked to the ground or tied to something; they are not free-standing. Please see pictures of these tents at www.coloradoyurt.blogspot.com Please contact me if your origination is interested in such tents.

mission: At The Colorado Yurt Company, we have a family of employees who take great pride and care to craft every yurt, tipi and canvas wall tent that leaves our shop. Our story began back in 1976 when owners Dan and Emma Kigar made their first tipi and called it home. They set their tipi on a mountainside and watched the stars pass and the seasons change. It wasn't long before some of their friends wanted the same experience and the adventure called Earthworks Tipis began. Living at 9,000 feet in harsh Colorado winters in a tipi gave them the first hand experience they needed to design and manufacture fabric structures that withstand extreme climate conditions while leaving a light footprint environmentally! Today, the enterprise has evolved into The Colorado Yurt Company still making quality tipis but also adding Mongolian style modern yurts and rugged canvas wall tents to the mix. The tiny workshop is now a small campus of production facilities and display yurts, tipis and tents located at the base of the Rocky Mountains in Montrose, Colorado. The two back-to-the-land entrepreneurs grew into a group of thirty talented craftsmen and craftswomen who produce tipis, tents and yurts known and respected worldwide with a solid reputation for quality and personable service that is sometimes difficult to find in today's fast paced world. -> At The Colorado Yurt Company, we have a family of employees who take great pride and care to craft every yurt, tipi and canvas wall tent that leaves our shop.
