Our contact Krishna in Nepal was very excited to read about the Heritable Innovation Trust Program saying that it makes them more energized in their mission. The clinic is working perfect for the locals and the tri-monthly progress report on recent work is being prepared. We should be able to post it by the end of August. Four families have gotten training on a parabolic solar cooker and will be making bio briquettes. They will distributing the other solar cookers in a week. Expect to see photos from that and well as an updated brochure with their entire mission!

Mass slaughter and rape in the Congo. Conflict Minerals. They are in almost all of our smart phones, laptops, and digital cameras. A conflict mineral is any mineral mined in conditions of armed conflict and human rights abuses. Nicholas D. Kristof, of the New York Times, reported that in Congo, there are "women who have been mutilated, children who have been forced to eat their parents' flesh, & girls who have been subjected to rapes that destroyed their insides".

The AP is reporting that if Arizona law SB 1070 Goes Into Effect Thursday, Mexico will send human rights inspectors to monitor all large border crossings including Reynosa, Mexico. Mexico's National Human Rights Commission is claiming, "The implementation of the Arizona Law SB1070 represents a threat to migrants' full exercise of their human rights." Reynosa, just recovering from recent flooding and long border crossing lines will now have another potential area of conflict.

The Heritable Innovation Trust honors intellect, information, and wisdom that have been passed down throughout history. On July 12, 2010, a great man who fully embodied the spirit of the Trust passed away. Mau Piailug, 78, originally of Satawal Island (part of the Federated States of Micronesia) was one of the last great master navigators of the sea, having learned to navigate the ocean without the use any modern instruments. As a young boy, knowledge of non-instrumental seafaring was passed down to him from his grandfather, and is a skill taught only inside family structures.
