Burners without Borders as explained on Causes..
BWB is under the umbrella of BRAF; which is the Black Rock Arts Foundation. BRAF is a 501(c)3 organization and donations are tax deductible to the extent allowed by law.
It is under these two umbrellas that Burners without Borders Detroit operates. On the Causes website BWB is explained as follows…it’s a short concise way of explaining it to someone who may other wise know;
“Burners without Borders is a loose association of aid and action leaders who choose to step in and work together to rebuild communities.
We help make homes happen, the basics of everyday life. Together we help build bridges and survive the basics. We know that just the right mix of people will come together at the time when you will most need it.
BwB evolved after Burning Man 2005 as a response to Hurricane Katrina; today we take on the challenges in the news....rebuilding from fires, survival skill assembly with creative solutions to life-changing problems.
Burning this brightly is not for the faint of heart. This cause is for everyone who respects the community leaders, builders, counselors and architects who create new opportunities from rubble.”
Most of this blog is now dedicated to the homeless project i have been doing. started this in 2007 by cruising around to find the Highway Men, what i call the men who live under the highway passes. In 2008 i bugged people i know and don't for food and clothes as its expanded to anywhere I meet a homeless person on the streets..so yea i just drive around looking for people then ask them if they need any help. these are some of stories. I continue this in 2010 and into the 2011 season.
