Coordination meeting about EcoMaterials 2005

As part of the preparation for the Third Internacional EcoMaterials Conference (Santa Clara, November 2005) a coordination meeting took place in Cuba about publications on our Website and the newsletters, EcoSouth and EcoSur. More participants are expected to attend EcoMaterials 2005 than the previous conferences, that reveals the prestige that this events has acquired within the scientific community concerned with ecologically and economically sustainable construction materials. It became clear that publications in the Website have divulged the conference to a greater audience. During the past three years visits to www.ecosur.org have  increased to the current 7,500 monthly.

In 2005, SofoNic has started a dual education program for masons in Nicaragua, using its house-building programs as a base. Teaming up with the local technical school in Jinotepe they are graduating about ten masons every year since. Most f them have found jobs in construction or have started a business on their own. SofoNic has contracted several of them as master masons in the reconstruction programs in Haiti.
