SUMMARY:KC Oasis Volunteers with Uzazi Village
DESCRIPTION:Uzazi Village is a nonprofit organization devoted to decreasing health disparities in the urban core of Kansas City by decreasing prematurity\, the leading cause of death for African-American infants\, through education\, support\, and innovative care delivery models. Along the way\, they hope to increase the quality of life for moms\, babies\, and families residing in the urban core and increase awareness and promotion of healthy lifestyles and empowering lifestyle choices. \nThey are MOVING their offices from 3647 Troost to 4232 Troost- just a few blocks down the road. They will rent a truck\, load everything up\, and take it to the new place. They will have juice and danishes in the morning and order pizza for lunch. This move has been many years in the making. Uzazi Village has become an integral part of our community & are thrilled to be increasing their space so that they can increase their capacity. \nKC Oasis is excited to join with them in celebrating their move and helping them by providing manpower to assist them in this historic step for their organization! \nBy participating in this event\, you agree to abide by the Oasis Code of Conduct (https://www.kcoasis.org/about-oasis/code-of-conduct/).

SUMMARY:Sunday Gathering: Keith Fouts\, "Building an Energy-Efficient Earthbag Home in Eastern Kansas"
DESCRIPTION:Doors open at 10:30 am for coffee and conversation.\nSunday Gathering begins at 11 a.m.\nChild care is provided. Everyone is welcome!\nProgram ends at 12:30 p.m. \nFeatured Speaker: Keith Fouts\, “Building an Energy-Efficient Earthbag Home in Eastern Kansas”\nCommunity Moment: Chuck Brown\nMusical Guest: TBA\nKids: Making personal flags\nTeens: “We the people” activity \nOver time\, Keith developed a passion for taking care of the environment as he learned about our influence on the climate. One item on his bucket list included building a sustainable home; however\, his passion for travel has been at odds with building a home anchored in one location. A few years ago Keith’s parents began transitioning toward retirement and no longer needed the five-bedroom home in Ottawa that Keith grew up in. This is where the sustainable earthbag home (4\,000 bags filled with 100 lbs. of earth) came into play. \nDuring today’s talk Keith will explain why he has decided to build this type of home and how to go about building with earthbags. He will include information about other sustainable features he has added into the home (passive solar design\, rainwater cistern\, radiant in-floor heating\, etc.).  \nAbout the speaker: Keith grew up in Ottawa\, Kansas. After earning a bachelor’s degree in aeronautical science from the Florida Institute of Technology\, he moved to Virginia to begin a career as a flight instructor. Unfortunately\, his first day on the job was September 11\, 2001. Religious extremists changed his career path that day. \nHe flight-instructed for the next 18 months\, but saw that aviation was not going anywhere with all the changes since 9/11. Having worked as an electrical apprentice to pay for college\, he quickly earned his journeyman\, then master electrician licenses. Then he learned about contracting opportunities for licensed electricians willing to travel. This included working five contracts at the South Pole where he eventually founded the South Pole Freethinkers. He spoke at Oasis about this topic last year (podcast episode #40). \nToday\, Keith works six to eight months a year and travels between contracts. \n*By participating in this event\, you agree to abide by the Oasis Code of Conduct (https://www.kcoasis.org/about-oasis/code-of-conduct/).
