I just found this earthbag shelter for street children in Boudha, Nepal. That’s pretty much all I know about this project. Maybe one of our readers can fill us in on the details.

To those who are new to earthbag building: Does this look complicated? Filling and stacking bags of soil? Work with local builders who know roofs, plaster, bond beams, etc. and simple houses and shelters like this can go up very quickly with minimal outside assistance.
