Newsletter October<\/p>\n

Dear friends,<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

we hope that you are all fine and send you greetings from Jinwar once<\/span><\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>again. After a long and hot summer with a lot of progress in the<\/span><\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>construction of the womens village, it is getting colder in these days,<\/span><\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>the nights get longer and we expect the rain soon to come. We are happy<\/span><\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>about all the work that has been done and thankful for all the people<\/span><\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>that participated with their hands and ideas in this first building<\/span><\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>season. The work with the kerp\u00ee\u00e7 bricks is being paused now until next<\/span><\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>spring and we are busy doing all kinds of preparations for the winter.<\/span><\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>As the friends who came to help us preparing kerp\u00ee\u00e7 stones all summer<\/span><\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>long are gone, we are less people now and life here got a little more<\/span><\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>quiet.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

A few days ago we had our great Jinwar assembly, with all women of the<\/span><\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>committee participating. We were looking back on the months that passed,<\/span><\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>discussed the work and made plans for the winter. 21 houses have been<\/span><\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>built until now, finally we finished their roofs and covered all of them<\/span><\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>with tarps to protect them from strong rain. Despite water problems the<\/span><\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>first gardening season was fruitful as well. We harvested many fruits<\/span><\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>and vegetables in the garden, we prepared them together and ate the<\/span><\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>dishes made from them. Now we prepare the garden for the new season.<\/span><\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>Many women were visiting us and different groups were coming by almost<\/span><\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>every day. We showed them around, worked together, discussed together,<\/span><\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>danced together and collected lots of proposals for the building of the<\/span><\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>village. For some groups we organized seminars of Jineoloj\u00ee and we were<\/span><\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>discussing a lot about the necessity of this village, about how we<\/span><\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>imagine free women to live in a free society and about the steps we are<\/span><\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>all making for this in our own lives.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Now as the autumn season began, the construction work will move more to<\/span><\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>the inside of the houses. Doors and windows have to be made out of wood,<\/span><\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>the floor has to be prepared, water system and electricity have to be<\/span><\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>installed. For means of more light in the rooms and protection of the<\/span><\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>walls we used white color to paint the first three houses from the<\/span><\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>inside. We started to build small terasses in front of the houses and we<\/span><\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>are collecting stones to make a little mosaic with the picture of<\/span><\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>Shahmaran, the mythical woman figure you might know from kurdish and<\/span><\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>middle eastern mythology. Until all 21 houses are really ready to live<\/span><\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>in we will have a lot of work to do all winter, so that most of the<\/span><\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>women will be able to move in in spring.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And there are a few more things we want to ask and inform you about:<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

First, we have a project for the next year: As you know Jinwar is<\/span><\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>being built as an ecological village and as part of this we are looking<\/span><\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>for sustainable ways of using energy. As we have a lot of sun here all<\/span><\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>over the year, we want to find ways to use sun energy in Jinwar. Thus we<\/span><\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>are looking for people (especially women) having knowledge about all<\/span><\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>kinds of methods to use sun energy, as well as ways to get and install<\/span><\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>solar panels. Do you have knowledge on that or do you know people who<\/span><\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>might be motivated to support this project practically?<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

We are also looking for knowledge and ideas on recycling. Which<\/span><\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>useful things can we make out of trash and old materials? We have a lot<\/span><\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>of space to try. Do you have tips and experiences you can share with us?<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

We send greetings to all of you and are looking forward to hear from<\/span><\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>your discussions and ideas!<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
