Capacity Building & Sustainability

Right in line with broad-spectrum Portland values of sustainability and conservation is the ethos of BuildaBridge when it comes to their cross-cultural international work.

Our challenge as international workers is to teach skills that can be furthered without our presence. We plan to research what is locally availability so that people can continue to make art and produce projects that aren't reliant solely on imported goods.

People can be creative in ways that stuns the average Westerner.

I'm looking forward to this, so much, and yet I'm a little scared, too.
