The charities

As some of you already know, last year Wookiefoot and the Harvest Fest community began fund raising for certain environmental and international relief charities. The response from the fans and family was overwhelming and beautiful.

And if you didn't know, here's the feel good moment you've been waiting for!! In 2006 Project Earth was born as a 100% Charity Fund Raiser. Now, the upcoming 2006 Harvest Fest, the Trans-Cosmic Tribadelic Space Carnival, will also take all parking fees ($5 per car or more if you want to give more), and put that towards the Wookiefoot charities.

Included in, but not limited to, the Wookiefoot list of charity work is:
Hoste Hainse Schools- Nepal
Promoting "Education for All", Hoste Hainse believes that education is the required foundation for the task of building the nation. Since its inception, Hoste Hainse has focused on supporting deprived and underprivileged children in their struggle for education.

Cambodia Land Mine Museum Relief Fund
The mission is to decrease land mine casualties and contribute to land mine survivor rehabilitation in Cambodia. The Land Mine Museum was founded by Aki Ra, a Cambodian ex-child soldier who has helped to clear some six thousand mines and unexploded ordinance. The Center will employ land mine educational consultants and technicians contracted to travel to mined communities in an effort to teach farmers and school children land mine safety. In addition, the new facility will provide a small dormitory and a school for child survivors of land mine causalities.

Vangviang Organic Farm - Laos
The profits from this farm are used to fund several community projects that support and educate the people who live in Phoudindaeng village. First, we help to teach the local farmers about the advantages of organic farming. In addition, we have led in the building of a local community center and we obtained a school bus to take the children to school each day. Our community projects have succeeded because they combine the talents and energies of foreign volunteers with the efforts of the villagers themselves.

The American Refugee Committee - World Wide
Today, ARC works in 10 countries around the world helping victims of war and civil conflict rebuild their lives. ARC programs in Africa, the Balkans, and Asia provide health care, clean water, shelter repair, legal aid, trauma counseling, microcredit, community development services, and repatriation assistance to more than one million people, annually. ARC bases its relationship with uprooted peoples on mutual respect and a compassionate exchange of knowledge and values.


Come help us celebrate love, life, music, art, and be a part of making the world a better place through Wookiefoot and Harvest Fest 2006.
