Hello, Sangharatama!
In fact, I got this information at a outdoor on the street and thought the idea fantastic. Saw also some articles on magazines about non prifit organization in all Brazil that is developing the propose in poor area. I know in Salvador at least 2 NPO that work with that, I will get a contact, visit them, ask about durations, forms, etc..., make some pics and try for my own ( I am a litle heavy...) how confortable they are, ok?

Hello Alice,
I am a Buddhist monk from Sri Lanka working with microcredit programme for women. I am surprised to see your furniture made by plastic bottles. How long can one use this kind of chair? Is it comfortable to sit on it and is it healthy? Can you give me more comments about this productions. I wish you a good luck.
