Studio III architects' Hero Wednesday: The Vermont Sail Freight Project

Shiver me timbers!
The Vermont Sail Freight Project is this week’s hero…and our friends at the Willowell Foundation (www.willowell.org ) for sponsoring the epic journey and supporting its philosophic and physical mission. The story has been covered by many including the New Yorker magazine! The Kickstarter video is also a great intro this epic journey.

Studio III architects’ Hero Wednesday: Burlington School District’s “Diversity Rocks International Youth Group”

Most folks don’t think of Vermont as a center of diversity, and we aren’t compared to some places…but we are divers and understand the challenges and opportunities…and how to move forward!

This week’s Hero is the Burlington School Districts “Diversity Rocks International Youth Group” who just WON the national contest sponsored by the United Nations to highlight this year’s theme for the International Day of Peace, “Educate for Peace”! This video will be shown at the United Nations on September 21st and is a huge achievement for the students, faculty and staff of the Burlington Vermont school district!
You guys ROCK with an awesome message for our community….and the rest of the world….Congratulations, your guys are definitely Heroes!
