Thank you for your help spreading the words for my son Josh’s Burning Men Pinwheel project fundraising. Josh is currently studying Industrial Design in Rhode Island School of Design (RISD). Josh and his 2 friends from RISD got help from many generous people including some of our teachers here in TCLS. Although delayed by his busy schedule at school, Josh finally finished creating this video (https://vimeo.com/60942570) to document their experience in the desert with Pinwheel project. It is quite an experience for him and his friends. Can you post it to share his experience as a small token of appreciation. Hope you enjoy it.
